For anyone thinking of shucking, you should do a bad sector scan beforehand to ensure the integrity of the drive.

I don't remember the method but hopefully, someone here can post how to do it??

You basically use software to scan to every sector of the drive to make sure there are no bad sectors, this will enable you to do a warranty claim before the drive is shucked to save you the hassle of the drive dying early in its life cycle and trying to make a claim on a drive where the case has been tampered with potentially voiding the warranty.
- pinkybrain on 15/04/2019 - 22:33
  
  problem is that test would take ages since it is 10TB
  
  Any idea how long this test would take?
  Testing each sector, I would asssume take quite some time
  - impoze on 15/04/2019 - 22:35
    
    is a quick scan enough?
  - Necron on 15/04/2019 - 22:40
    
    +2
    
    If you're going to shuck the drive, it's worth waiting for an all-clear. I'd guesstimate two days to scan.
  - yacman on 15/04/2019 - 23:04
    
    +3
    
    As @Necron said, does not matter how long it takes, will be worth it.
    
    I am unsure how long, as I said, I have heard of this, but never done it and don't remember how to.
    
    2 days seems like it may be accurate, so it may not be "quick" but you will be waiting over a month for the drive, 2 more days shouldn't hurt but data loss and an invalid warranty claim probably will ;)
    
    If anyone knows the method and software, please post

      HDDScan, free and no installation required.
    - pinkybrain on 15/04/2019 - 23:15
      
      so you never shucked your hdd
      or you have shucked but never did the bad sector scan..
      
      whilst i did know about importance of testing the entire hdd for bad sector prior to shucking.. (this was mention in some other websites)
      the reality is that it takes so long
      that i didn't bother…
      I think for most people this would also be the case.
      
      Also what about doing a simple chkdks in cmd?
      This is a much faster scan, but not as thorough as a full bad sector scan..

      I use H2testw, traditionally used for checking for 'fake' usb drives by writing files to 100% of the drive (minus file system overheads) and then reading it all back in to validate.
      
      Works perfectly good for standard HDDs, you can run 2 copies in parallel if say you bought 2 drives
      - pinkybrain on 16/04/2019 - 08:02
        
        @Tigerhacker: would doing a chkdsk in command prompt be good enough?

        @pinkybrain: I do a full scan using WD Diagnostics Software. Takes 16 hours on a 10TB drive. Long but worth doing.
- garetz on 16/04/2019 - 08:32
  
  You would be foolish not to do this, bad sectors usually isnt a problem for a new disk. I always do a burin in test for at least the first week before i trust any data to it.

Can anyone please link me up to what to get from Jaycar or similar stores for the power supply to make it work here?

  Not exactly answering your question, but if you contact WD they'll probably send you out one for free. All I had to tell them was it came with a US plug instead of an Aus and I bought it from Amazon.

      Probably took around a week to arrive.

My two just shipped today. Tracking it is telling me it will arrive today too, but Amazon said 17 May.

  Yeah I'm getting the same thing. Who is your courier?
