Q. Is there a way to weed out bad drives (too many defects or power on hours etc.?) when the drive is detected so I don’t spend processing time on drives I can’t resell?

A. Yes, navigate to Customize->Interface->Recycler Mode and select the desired behavior: Warn or Fail then hit the update button. Now you can customize a few of the parameters used to determine a warning or failure. Set the desired values for Reallocated Sectors limit and/or Power on Hours and hit the update button. Moving forward, devices that exceed those thresholds or don’t meet our grading standards will automatically produce a warning or failure based on your settings so you don’t waste time on product you can’t resell.
