Hello i have bought a new HDD for data, its WD RED 3 TB, i already runned some test like check the smart, i run the program HD Tune pro trial on it concretely, Benchmark, File Benchmark ( several times), random acces, Error scan quick a error scan "full" (not quick checked), which lasted i think 7 hours. So far everyting seems ok, not error reported etc.
Is it enough for a new disk as a test and can i start putting data on it?
I read somewhere that it is a good idea to do a "stress test" (or how to call it) for a newly bought HDD, it should run 24 hours, 3 days... I read it on some HW page.
Is it true that i should perform such test, wont it shorter the life of the disc itself?
