I'll keep it in mind, maybe it's a nice topic to make video about in my own clumsy way ..

We all know a guy that is a "computer guru" meaning he has carried around a USB full of the same portable apps since 2014, and always has a Hirens handy. He is the one on the computer at any party, running defrag and clearing the windows/temp directory

I tested my HDDs Victoria Are these HDDs only good for storing files? two hdds 1TB

if you want a screenshot of your active window, hold ALT and hit print screen. it just does the window, not the whole screen.

here is the manual that you can translate and work out what you are looking at in the results yourself. https://hdd.by/victoria_doc1/

I don't have the technical knowledge to analyze this test
I took the test that you guided me by sending a video

Did you analyze the photos? Are both two HDDs good for storing files or no?

Another question, one of the HDDs the test graph does not go up to 1TB it stops before 1TB and the test is two minutes shorter, is this normal?

if you want to make sure hdd is realiable, do a full scan. Quick scan gives a fast idea how the health is.
Smart for both hdd seems to be ok (if nobody made a smart reset).
Second hdd should be tested til the end.

Is a new test on HDD2 really necessary or are the tests that have already finished on both HDDs enough for both HDDs to be good for storing data? I posted photos of all the tests, Smart etc. What opinions this tests completed?

yes, do 2 full scans. If these are OK, then put drives inside a safe with 2m thick concrete walls. Build a new computer using all certified, guaranteed hardware that will not fail. Call the power company and get a dedicated, filtered, power supply that has multiple fail-safes built in. Clear your Neighborhood of people so there is no chance of anyone interrupting the data transfer. Stop all Wi-Fi, cellphone data in the area to make sure there is no interference. make sure there are no magnets in the immediate area, 1KM to be safe. Remove ALL CATS from the surrounding area - Cats are very bad for computers, laptops especially. make sure there are no glasses of wine close. These are also a natural enemy of computers.

Once you are certain the data transfer will work, test 3 times by cloning your data then restoring it. do a binary file comparison to make sure data is the same.

If this is ok, throw away your whole system and build an identical one - you can't trust it now you have used it 3 times.

backup your data, encase in concrete and bury in your backyard. Make a sign 'NO HARD DISKS BURIED HERE' to trick any criminals digging it up and stealing your drives.

follow these simple steps and you can be slightly ahead of if you just use your perfectly fine drives.

It would be ironic if for some reason your PC crashed and you lost all your data, after spending 2 years drilling down every little possible 'what-if' and never actually just did the backup.

Were the Smart + quick scan Victoria tests that I did is not useful for my HDDs to know their health?

you are not going to be satisfied with ANY test, so it doesn't matter what you are told
