I plan to rip my movie collection to a NAS, which I have not purchased yet, but did buy six 22TB WD Pro Red HDD’s over their Black Friday sale. Someone suggested I surface test each of the HDD’s while I await purchasing my NAS in case there are any problems and they need to be replaced.

He suggested using HD Tune for software, and a two slot docking station with fan for the scans. Can anyone help direct me to good options for this? I think I have found examples of the docking stations for this, but I’m not 100% sure, and I have not found any with fans, so wanted to ask those more knowledgeable than I. If anyone has any other suggestions for software programs for that besides/better than HD Tune, I’d welcome that as well. Thank you!
