Tsung is an easy to use open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing 
tool. The more simple way to use it to stress test your machine would be 
using pgfouine to setup a test from postgresql logs:
  http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/
  http://pgfouine.projects.postgresql.org/tsung.html

Tsung will easily simulate a lot (more than 1000) of concurrent users playing 
your custom defined load scenario. Then it will give you some plots to 
analyze results, for disk io though you'll have to use some other tool(s) 
while tests are running.
