    I run it for a while up to a day. Take out that drawer & slide in the original (source) HDD.

    Do you monitor the temps of your HDD? My temps are 41C or lower. If higher I shut down for at least 15min. If the temps soars to around 50C & stays ime HDD failure soon.

    No sh*t. It needs complete control. Just make sure the fix option is checked as well. Let it run overnight.

    The drive maker usually has tools on their web site for checking the drive.
