Important - Read First

Western Digital does not warrant or represent in any way that the WD 
Quick Tester will function with all make/model EIDE hard drives or 
identify all faulty drives under test.

The WD Quick Tester may not identify and/or fail drives that 
function intermittently. Such drives may be able to function but with 
some difficulty and may only occasionally report an error or failure 
when tested. The frequency of intermittent failures can change by 
varying the test conditions, making an actual failure of the drive 
difficult to identify.

Hard Drive Handling Procedures

Hard drives can be damaged by rough handling, shock and vibration, 
or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be aware of the following precautions 
when handling hard drives.

!

Follow all proper static electricity handling procedures before 
attempting to test any hard drive. To avoid ESD, ground yourself 
by touching the metal chassis of the computer or wear a 
grounding strap before handling the hard drive. 

!

Articles of clothing generate static electricity. Do not allow 
clothing to come in direct contact with the hard drive or circuit 
board components.

!

Handle the hard drive by the sides only. Avoid touching the circuit 
board components on the bottom of the hard drive.

!

Do not drop, shake, or knock down the hard drive.

!

Do not stack hard drives or stand the hard drive on its edge.
