Hey there! Just checked the 3TB WD HDD and ran a Crystaldisk Info. Everything looks normal except the rotation speed isn’t showing up. No need to worry, but it might be worth investigating further.

Thanks for the reply. I was aware the drive was old but I didn't expect errors to show up. I also ran a test on the official WD software and it says it's all fine, I'm running an advanced SMART test just in case, but it seems fine according to that. Is it more reliable than Crystaldisk?

If the official wd software approves it, everything is okay. But I never suggest using HDDs in active storage. They're only suitable for cold storage.
