Best Tool to check Samsung F4 2TB

Already searched...didn't find an answer. Looking for a Windows software tool to check whether the drives are good.

I would like to check the 5 drives I just purchased before deploying them. While I did find a Samsung app (CD or FDD) to check the drives...is there a Windows based program that would work for this as well? I really don't want to take a workstation offline for as long as it would take to check these drives.

Normally I buy Western Digital or Seagate...and they each have their own Windows utility.
 
I appreciate the links.

However, I ran across ESTOOL already...I was wondering if there is a Windows based utility for this...non-Samsung even...that would work.

Or...do I just suck it up and run ESTOOL? Given that I have 5 drives, it would take some time to check them...and I would prefer to do this from Windows with some external enclosures...

Thanks.
 
Samsung has the 2TB F4s out now? I'm looking to upgrade from the F3s to these. Where did you get yours? All I see are the slow F4EG versions.
