Why stress test it at all. Just use it as you are supposed to during
everyday use. If it's going to fail, it will, anyway, whether you handle it
normally or roughly to see it's durability and reliability. So you might as
well not stress it. It'll last longer.
I had archery equipment in a hard shell case that claimed that your
equipment would not be damaged if a compact car ran over the case. I would
never run over the case with my equipment in it to see if the case lived up
to it's manufacturer's claim. To do so would be stupid, and I feel that
intentionally putting unnecessary stress on any computer component is
unnecessary and just asking for trouble.

Again, you missread the situation here. We're not talking about jumping on
a
water bed with cleats. We're talking about putting a 250 pound object on
the bed to determine if its going to explode once you put the full weight
of
a person on it. Much better to have the bed explode now, while (a) you're
not on it, and (b) you're awake to clean it up as opposed to 2 hours into
your first trial sleep. Accept that with the case of computer hardware,
the
times here are more spread out.
Stress test a disk when you get it and it'll fail now, when you've got the
case open and a backup two feet away, as opposed to six months later, when
you're neck deep in your tax audit or in the middle of your doctoral
thesis
when its already midnight and the aforementioned backup is out of your
reach
(not that it'll matter anyway, cause that mission-critical data's toast).

I still don't see the logic of purposefully abusing hardware to insure
it's
durability. I would never jump onto a new water bed while wearing
football
cleats to make sure that is resistant to puncture. It would be my own
fault
if a flood occurs.
