How to test a 200GB drive

[TK <trykde@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Earlier today, I was asking a question which IDE chips support 200GB 
drive with no answer.  Here is another unrelated question: given a 
combination of IDE chip + BIOS + kernel + Fdisk , how can I test a 200GB 
to make sure it really works (no data corruptions) and use its full 
capacities.  Whatever tools are chosen, the tester must make sure it is 
reading/write the real blocks, not rolling back to  block 0. Someone 
mentioned using badblocks, then said it's not enough. What would you do?

Thanks.
