With large drives, I'd suggest you format and check for bad blocks,
rather than just quick format and hope for the best.  Yes, it will take
ages, but you're better to found out about a duff drive at the start,
rather than some time later when you've got oodles of data on the drive.

In recent years, every large drive that I've played with has had
problems, despite being treated with kid gloves (they don't get moved
while on, they don't get banged about while off).

And, if you put un-encrypted confidential on your drive you can't safely
return a crap drive to the manufacturer for a warranty replacement.  Not
to mention that's assuming you find out about any drive faults before
the warranty expires.
