Both HDDs show that each was started twice - once at the factory I would assume and then when I started them for the above test.
This indicates to me that these figures for Seagates - as I think it was you who suggested this - is normal. Indeed. Yes, and yes :-)
However, I will send to Seagate the smartctl tests for the HDDs re which I started this thread to ask them what Seagate think of the figures. If they answer at all, I mean a human response, not a robot or a flower pot, it would be very interesting to learn about it ;-)
I received the response from Seagate Support last night and it was that there does not appear to have anything to worry about. But they also suggested that I download the latest SeaTools - which I did - and run tests against each of the HDDs just to confirm S.M.A.R.T.'s results. I haven't done this yet.
