9 It's currently running the test on most of these. The sdd drive is the
10 new one. The sdc drive is the same model but a couple years old, which
11 is why I bought this one since the last one was working fine. The sda/b
12 drives are WD of different sizes. sda has the OS on it and I think it
13 is the black type. Sdb is a small backup drive that I copy things like
14 family photos and such too. Yea, I also have DVD backups that are not
15 here at the house. Here is the output:

68 That looks OK to me BUT it is currently running the test. What I may do
69 is redo the file system and copy a new set of backups over to it. Sort
70 of give it a bit of a workout and see if that spots anything. I bet as
71 it is, they won't let me return it or anything. It is working, just
72 making that noise.
