Hi i am kinda new to owning hard drives and I wanted to ask if this hard drive I have is in good health/condition or whether I should return it to the store I brought it from as the read error rate is only at 64 and I own 2 other hard drives and their read error rates are at current 100 or slightly above so just wanted to know if this is OK to use or if it should be returned.

Here are the smart values of the 4tb Seagate Portable Hard Drive in an image:

Many Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

 
If you'd like to check on the health of your drive, Seagate offers a free diagnostic tool called SeaTools here for checking drive health. If you do run into some issues running the tests on this tool, and would like to look into any potential warranty information on your drive, you can find Seagate's Warranty Validation tool here, and you can also reach Seagate Customer Support here if needed. We hope this works out!
