Hey, I want to use a 1tb free Western Digital Purple hdd for testing operating systems and such. Basically nothing of high importance. My main OS is on another drive.

I just wanted to ask if it is okay to use it for my use case (meaning that it doesn't f up my motherboard randomly)

HDD details (HD sentinel):

Model: WDC WD10PURZ-85U8XY0

Power on time: 1263 days 10 hours [30k+ hours]

Estimated life: 561 days

Total start stop count: 828

Max Temp: 55 degree celsius

Health and Performance: 100%

(Also kinda suspicious that the health shows to be 100% even after so much use. I have tested on different programs and even different operating systems.)

Thanks in advance
