I don't think you have any worries......most people would actually want to test out a new drive first before loading it up with data....especially multiple TB's of data
and a link to the story.....

**EDIT** Decided to edit because I was trying to be nice but I want to make sure you at least understand what I was getting at
all the uneducated jokes about "prepping" drives is getting old....when you order a new drive it is not guaranteed that the new drive will work...it may be totally DOA or it may be flaky and after a few weeks of use it may die
when you say "prep" a drive when you are referring to unraid you are talking about a VERY useful tool that someone intelligent created that tests a hard drive
it reads the entire surface of the hard drive and then write's zeros to the entire hard drive and then reads them to make sure everything is intact
this is very useful for any new hard drive...no matter what you are going to use the hard drive for this can be a lifesaver....especially if your new hard drive appears to be fine so you dump your data on it....everything seems ok so you format your existing to reuse and then a couple weeks later your new hard drive craps out
is it guaranteed that testing every hard drive will show that it is bad....NO
is it better to test a new hard drive then not...HELL YES
So please understand that you are trying to crack jokes about something that is actually great to do but you chose not to invest the little time it takes to figure that out
-Rant Over lol
btw...can't wait for Eden Final!!!
