Hdd second hand help pls

The screenshots look OK to me apart from the warning about the CRC errors. This is a cumulative count of how many communication errors there have been between the disk controller and the hard disk, and is most likely caused by a cable or connector problem. It's possible but less likely that it's a problem with the disk itself.

As suggested by bremen1874, the WDC diagnostic result would be the best one to get. If you also get the serial number you can check the warranty status on the WDC site - it's probably 3 years for that drive (unless it's a refurb or warranty replacement) so there may be some remaining.
