How do I ensure newly bought HDDs aren't bad before putting them into my NAS? Windows-only btw.

I bought this USB to SATA HDD dock hoping that it would read my 12TB x 2 HDDs, but when I open up HDDScan, it can't find them. The dock claims to work for 16TB x 2. I even tried finding them with diskpart. I'm so sad right now. One of my NAS drives is starting to go bad, so I'm limited on time :(

Other than searching eBay for the HDD cage, you might have to go for an external solution like a USB 3.0 to SATA dock "toaster" or a 3.5 inch enclosure. Also search for HDD mounts, but that might entail drilling into the metal case.

​

Alternatively, If you don't plan on moving the PC anywhere, you might try double sided tape, as long as you DON'T LET THE HDD CIRCUIT BOARD TOUCH ANY METAL.
