RE: [OT] HD stress test



good idea m8, I'll give it a go (hopefully I used all drives from the same
plase!)

Would a read test be good enough though?  At this stage am happy enough to
overwrite the disks completely - I'd rather have the inconvenience and be
sure than risk a failure....

cheers,

Tony
