I bought my 2.5" HDDs + USB 3.0 case in 2023 in the same year and in 2024 I performed a full surface scan test with seatools and HD Tune and the SMART in CrystalDiskinfo was good. I access these HDDs once a year to monitor the HDD's degradation before it dies and I lose files. Is a full surface test (many hours) necessary every year or is just reading the SMART in CrystalDiskinfo enough?

scan it with nuclear checker, is a very powerful tool that it will do a proper stress test.
It will scan once in a second, then you don't need to worry never again.
