Yeah it is backed up, I just happen to need to drive to expand my operations. Would be a pity if it was bad.

No errors tho, in both the short and extended tests.

• START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 830 - # 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 829 - # 3 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 812 -

Thanks,
Sam
