I will just paste my standard procedure when I onboard any new (or used) drive: Everybody has their own ~~skin care~~ HDD check routine. This is mine:

I first check the SMART status with CrystalDisk, after this a short smart test, full surface check with Macrorit, full h2testw run, CrystalDiskMark, and then I check with CrystalDisk once again if anything besides power on hours did change.

Will take some days for a large drive but in terms of work hours we talk about less than 5 minutes and it covers pretty much anything without being too excessive.

SMS versenden kostet tatsächlich Geld. Zudem gibt es ja noch andere (zT kostenlose) Möglichkeiten, die zudem auch noch sicherer sind. Von daher empfinde ich es als eher weniger problematisch.

shopping takes forever because there aren’t big-box stores

War selbst nie in einem US Walmart oder so, aber spart das wirklich Zeit? Gut, wenn die so ein Vollsortiment haben, dass du nicht noch zu 2-3 Spezialgeschäften musst, dann vielleicht, sonst klingt das aber eher nach langer Fahrt und dann ewig lange durch den Laden laufen.

I think there are other factors at play. The community here is much smaller and the few people that are here are likely more dedicated and knowledgeable.
