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 (!). <snip> What is a good program out there that exercises a disk to give some assurance of errors or lack thereof?
I like this one: http://freshmeat.net/projects/iogen/
pretty easy to use, and seems to crush systems.
