How can i test the health of my hard disk in this wd my book live?

Log into the Web UI.

Click SUPPORT,

Click CREATE & SAVE in the lower left window.

You’ll be prompted to download a ZIP file.  

When you have it, open the ZIP, and you’ll find a file called

systemLog_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Open that folder,  you’ll find a text file called smart_info.

There ya go!
