Same here, but I wasn't crazy about having an extra foot of cable bundled up. Ended up doing as in the attached picture and covering 3 pins with kapton tape. You only need to cover the longer 3.3v...

In linux,
smartctl -a /dev/sdd
for SMART stats where /dev/sdd is the drive you are testing. You'll need smartmontools installed.
badblocks -wsv -b 4096 /dev/sdd
this will write and read back...

any recommendations on how to fully test these in a Synology NAS box? I can't put a 3.5" drive anywhere else but would love to check SMART, bad sectors, and other vitals before building a RAID array...

Personally, I'd take the used drive, especially if it's an enterprise class model. I just can't recall hearing any good things about these "whitelabels." If possible, I'd go for a more recent model...

Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall hearing rumblings that these off-brands have a good chance of being essentially manufacturer rejects. They may be lower (lowest?) binned drives that didn't...

^ And to add to above, 3 out of 4 of the hard drives failed HD Sentinel. Lovely.
The one that is passing HD Sentinel has over 4 years of Power On Time.

Bought 3, 2 seem to be fine but 1 is unusable. Fails every test, even the short 30 second ones. Hoping the return process is smooth at least.

Lol that MTBF is a probability when you deploy hundreds of these drives. Doesn't mean they expect it to last 100 years or whatever it comes to.
It really only need to last about 15 though before...
