That if it has a problem that will cause it to fail soon in it's life, then I can find it soon. Remember that curve about failures? I would like to get past that first part of the curve. Maybe by the time I get to the later part, I'll have another drive or some backup scheme. Most the failures I have read about in reviews for this drive were early or was just plain old DOA. Testing it will get me past that. I'd rather it fail before I get my data on it instead of after. I thought I posted why I wanted to do this in my first post.
