I bought an 8TB Seagate USB3 drive Real Cheap at Costco, which I will eventually "shuck" to get at the SATA hard drive inside.
Voiding the hell out of the warranty, so I would like to stress test it for a few months before I open the case. There are many tools (like bonnie++) that can thrash a hard drive, but they use more CPU than I would like. Is there a non-intrusive command-line hard drive test tool that can stress-test a hard drive for months with minimal CPU and RAM activity? How do server farms stress test incoming drives before committing important data to them?
