I jutst got this external 320GB hardrive but when i plug it in i see these 5 files named ~bittestS00001 to ~bittestS00005 3,124,928 KB each.

Does any body know what these files are for? Do i need them? Can i delete them?

Thanks
 
Someone at the factory probably forgot to remove those when testing a batch. That's most likely the test result seen in those files for the drive diagnostics often used on a production line. That was confirmation that the drive was good.
 
What make and model drive was that seen on. Generally a trip to the manufacturer's support site show what they have there for drive utilities. That will give you a better idea on this.
