I use it to test CPU, RAM and hard drives before a system goes into production. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 8:32 AM To: cf-community Subject: Best way to test new hard drives I bought 6 hard drives in preparation for my new computer build as they were on sale. It will be a month or so until I buy the rest of the system. I would like to test the drives to be sure everything is ok with them before the return period is up. My computer doesn't have sata connections so I will be connecting them one by one through a sata to usb adaptor. What is the best way to test the hard drives? I will format and checkdisk them, but what else? Should I make a .txt file full of 1's and copy until the drive is full? How can I test further? Is there any (free) software that could put the drives through their paces? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
