As the title says I just purchased a 10 TB Exos HDD. This is my first recertified drive, the format will be Ext 4 for my Ubuntu server. What is the first thing I should do with it? I once found a post that said what to do when you receive a used hard drive but can no longer find it. I know there is some kind of test you can run to test for potential failure.
