What I would do (if I were to get one) is do a deep/full scan with Seagate Sea Tools, and also check the health with CrystalDiskInfo (notice I wrote Info in the end, not Disk).

I've returned used, refurbed, (and I think even new) drives if they're not perfect.

How long are you going to live for?

(It's a similar question, in terms of one that nobody will be able to answer accurately).

"Portable" usually means 2.5" drives, which don't use standard SATA data and power cables to connect to the drives. They are usually soldered USB connectors. You can tell by the single (USB) cable connecting the drive to the laptop in the photos.
