Now it is the 3rd HDD internally it works and I can get my data out but I had them backed up anyway .. Upon start up it says SMART BAD, backup and replace.

So, what do I download to check it (like Seatools?), do I wipe it and then send it back to Seagate NZ or whoever? C1Pro Shopping I got from afaik has gone belly up.
