Well its quite hard to read with raw values but assuming that 00000000 is actually 0 then yes the drives look fine.
It' seems like there is two different disks in this server, is it a enterprise disk the first one?
both are fine (for the moment)
but dont expect much. i had one of these (st3000dm001) fail after 8 months
the first one is a bog standard disc.
the ST33000650NS is a enterprise disk.
This one: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3tb-seagate-st33000650ns-constellation2-enterprise-24x7-35-hdd-sata-iii-6gb-s-7200rpm-64mb-cache
The fact the enterprise one only has low hours on, I would guess it replaced an old 3TB standard drive the same as the first one when it failed recently.
It's fine for now, just monitor and log a ticket if you see any failures, I guess your be running Raid1?
No, not going to run RAID at all. OS + local backup on the first disk.
Storage + Hyper-V VMs on the second disk.
Auto export of Hyper-V VMs to the first disk, then they are copied to a second server each nigh. And from that server to my home server a couple of time per week.
