    Hi,
    i recently got a replacement for a "stop working" WD external HDD.

    I did some research online and ran some test to check if the drive is working properly or no and following are the result, should i also run some other test or am i good to go.

    thanks :)

    Well you get a dirty cop to beat the hard drive around and see if its integrity still holds up...

    On a more serious note, yes your drive looks fine, as Tinderbox stated above, you can use HD Tune you view your SMART status on the drive.
