Subject: Looking for a
good disk exerciser
I recently added a
Seagate 400Gb SATA drive to my system, and it has been behaving strangely since
I put it in. for one thing, the BIOS S.M.A.R.T. came up with a warning
the last time I booted with it enabled, saying that I should backup my data and
replace the disk (!).
I still have not made any irreversible data transfers to this drive, and I have
some time yet to take it back, but I'd like to know for sure that it needs it,
or at least have some reasonable evidence of failure.
What is a good program out there that exercises a disk to give some assurance
of errors or lack thereof?
Thanks.
