Hey folks!
I have a WD easystore 14 TB External HDD connected to my Plex server (running on windows 11).
I am using about 4 TB of it, but not for anything truly important. It’s storing plex media mostly.
I’d like to use it for storing memories. But how do I trust it?
What are good tools for me to keep a check on the drive so that I can hopefully get enough warning when it starts losing sectors?
I have some tool installed based on recommendations online and I started a “surface test” of the disk and it said it’ll take a measly 300 hours. Not ideal.
I guess I didn't get my point across. I wasn't tryig to say it can't happen automatically, just that if deleting it in one copy als, deletes it in another then it's useless in an accidental deletion scenario. Having versioned deletion is different and would mean the file was not deleted.
