while true ; do htparm -tT /dev/hdX ; done :)

though that won't exercise it's seek ability

so fiddle with something like (psuedocode follows):
        for each element foo in 1-<size of HDD in MB> do
                dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX bs=1k count=1k start=1024^2*$foo &
        done
to get it to try to write to thousands of places on the disk at the same time
