WD Drive Utilities is a relatively small program that, after launch, will give you all the tools for both managing and fine-tuning the functionality of external hard drives from the manufacturer Western Digital, plus it can diagnose and identify potential problems that may arise in the future with further use of the hard drive.
Note that if you have an external hard drive from another manufacturer, you can not even count, the software will not be able to recognize it, you will only waste your time. After the launch, you will have tools at your disposal to check your SMART status and overall health. As mentioned above, the program understands only external HD disks. The installation process does not take much time, Russian support is available, after launching the application, pre-or at the time of launch, you can connect an external hard drive, only after that options and functions will be available to us.
If you want to check how well the disk is working, if there are any problems, if everything is fine, you can run a number of tests using the built-in utilities. Let's say you notice that the disk does not work as fast as before, so you need to perform a full diagnosis, of course it will take longer, but the result will be more accurate, each sector will be checked for errors. There are simple tests that do not take much time, they give general information, for example, you can find out about the temperature rise, you can find out the noise level of the disk, the number of errors related to writing and reading, all these data can signal to you that trouble is approaching, so take them seriously.

If you consider yourself cool, or rather an experienced user, RAID parameters will be available to you - you can not only view them, but also change and save the result, although you need to be careful when editing, keep this in mind. Please note that WD drives use a separator (0) by default, mirrored (1), and some of them are JBOD (just a set of disks). As soon as the quick scan process is completed, the WD Drive Utilities program will allow you to view the RAID status, its parameters will show you how bad everything is, you will learn about the condition through special markings from bad to serviceable.
As mentioned above, you will have at your disposal the tools responsible for changing the basic configuration of the disk, only when performing this procedure, you will lose all the data on the media, so make copies or just score if there is nothing useful there.
