Hi, I recently bought a seagate barracuda ST2000DM008, I just received it yesterday but it was abysmally packaged, it came in a big bubble wrap case with plenty of empty space inside, long story short it's bad packaging, I immediately started testing it using various software including seagate's own software SeaTools, everything was good, results had no errors, and no weird sounds from the HDD,
I ran SMART test on crystaldiskinfo, hdsentinel, MiniTool wizard scratch test, and SeaTools basic tests, all results were OK, Pass, No error/ bad sectors found.
I also checked the warranty and it's valid for 2 years.
Here are the SMART results from crystaldiskinfo, hdsentinel as I don't have much experience in interpreting those results unfortunately.

Are the results normal, or do they indicate a possible drive fail due to mechanical damage?
What other test would you suggest to perform? and what SMART values should I monitor in upcoming weeks to detect a possible fail to RMA the drive?
Thanks for your help.
