New drives and WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics

[Samwp]

Hello everyone,

I have a lot of Western Digital HDDs that I periodically test with WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics (no longer supported) and am unsure how long I should continue using it, especially on newer drives.

I understand that the technology of HDDs hasn't changed much over the last few years, I just thought it was worth getting an opinion?

Data Lifeguard is only useful if you need an RMA for warranty purposes. Otherwise there are far better tools.
