The purpose is with any new disk its good to write to all the blocks and
let the drive to all of the re-mapping before you put 'real' data on it.
Let it crap out or fail before I put my data on it.
better use badblocks. It writes data, then reads it afterwards:
In this example the data is semi random (quicker than /dev/urandom ;)
badblocks -c 10240 -s -w -t random -v /dev/sdc
