Hello, I need help interpreting a Victoria scan of a new hard drive.

Model: Seagate Expansion 4TB external hard drive, new.
Hard drive delivered directly in its retail packaging. Two corners of the box are slightly damaged (a few millimeters), and the blister pack is slightly torn, but not serious at first glance.
The drive will be used for occasional dual backups.
This is the first time in my life I've run a scan like this, and after searching online (+ chatgpt), I found conflicting interpretations, namely:
25โ100 ms:
Source A: "Slow, keep an eye on it" (even though that's the majority of my points ๐)
Source B: "acceptable for an HDD".
100โ250 ms:
Source A: "Too slow for a new drive"
Source B: "Abnormal, but rare (18), but keep an eye out"
250 ms โ 1 s:
Source A: "Very slow or future problem, possible unstable sector"
Source B: "Slow, but rare (only 1), not yet serious."
Could you please advise me on the best course of action?
To determine if I can keep the drive and consider it to be in reasonable condition? Functional?
Thank you very much.
