Simple one says Health status is good. Two things-
1. Not able to select the external hdd connected with the system.
2. The first option is like this-
Read/Write error rate Current-100 W0rst-100 Threshold-50. If mine is 100 and worst is 100 then how is it good? The rest of the options are almost the same

You can also try Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring

I have the full version of this, what tests should I perform via this to monitor/check health of hdd?

Current is current value,Worst is worst value till now,Threshold value is the value which is the red line.e.g. now read write error rate current & worst values are 100 but with time these values will decrease(say 97 97 50). Some parameters current value may be more than worst value(e.g.97 87 50) but as long as they are quite above the threshold values,it is fine.

Thanks. How to check a pen drive or an external HDD with this software?

Pen drives are not supported as they don't have the in-built monitoring mechanism like in HDDs.Connect usb hdd & click on rescan under function,it should detect it after a couple of seconds of processing.

Many standard usb enclosures are supported but not all.e.g.any WD/Seagate usb hdd like WD Passport or Seagate Backup plus should be recognized with no issues but if you are using one of those Rs.500-1000 usb enclosures then it is not sure.
