How to make sure my new HDD does not suffer from load cycle issues?

[melterx12]

Ive been reading many people having problems with their HDDs after upgrading their MBP, having to use hdapm tool to fix this issue. Does anyone know how to verify whether or not the HDD i installed today into my MBP 13" 2010 is suffering from these issues? The drive is a WD Scorpio Blue 500GB (WD5000BEVT).

Thanks.
