My two cents: As soon as you get the drive run a short then long smartmontools [sourceforge.net] test on the drive. If you get any unrecoverable errors (or other errors) send it back right away. If you want to really test it out copy random large files (isos etc) to the drive multiple times then run smartmontools.
