The reason some values look like garbage is usually a mix of two things. Some SMART attributes actually report multiple values, using just one number. For example, the temperature attribute might report min, max, and current values. The second issue is that SMART data is reported in hexadecimal. Many programs convert these values to decimal, so they are easier for humans to read. If the program doesn't know that a drive is reporting multiple values for one attribute AND how they are split up, you will end up seeing a nonsensical number. Here's an example from a Seagate drive:
Attribute C2 - Temperature:
Dec value (what many programs report by default): 77309411360
Hex value (what the drive natively reports): 001200000020
The bold values converted to decimal are 18 and 32 respectively. These likely represent the lowest and current temperature. This is part of why people are often confused by Seagate SMART values.
Sometimes I store blu-ray rip on it. If I lost everything, oh well, no big deal.
of go-to video games. I need a non-SSD solution for storing large raw recordings and a bunch of other video games where I don't care a ton about speed. I see people use these drives for RAID, NAS, etc… is this also an effective HDD?

You can also follow Art of Server of using the this script. The video shows testing multiple drives but it is also fine running 1.
Be warned that it will take days! My 14tb has been running its test for 75 hours now and I'm still half way!

How did you order 6 drives? Ebay seems to limit orders up to 5 drives.

Yes I use a synology too. People get too excited with custom NAS until they realize 24/7 on means power consumption is key.
