That looks fine. The drive has no

cycled during the ~2.6 years it was in

raw values for Raw_Read_Error_Rate,
Seek_Error_Rate, and
Hardware_ECC_Recovered can be ignored
(those are not simple error counts).
About the only downside is that it's a
relatively small (500GB) 5900 RPM
drive, so it's going to be slower than
today's drives.

Yes, I have been buying WD 1TB drives,
7200 rpm, sometimes Seagate when the
price is right. I don't have a specific
need for this one, it was an old TV
device that they had not provided a
return label for, told my daughter to
toss it and she thought I might want the
hard drive. It took considerable effort
to get to it, even some loss of blood on
sharp edges. The drive was in a separate
housing with a fan. The device was one
of five, from the spare bedroom I
believe, probably had little use.
Imight put Fedora 26 alpha on it when
it's available.
Thanks to all who responded. I keep
adding information to my notes.
