Default Looking for system stress / burn-in software

If you want to stress the disk operations you can add on a batch file which
copies files back and forth, zips them, unzips them, compares them,
calculates MD5 codes or whatever your heart desires. Add sleep intervals as
appropriate or let the drive(s) grind at full speed as seems appropriate.


Simply using badblocks sounds a lot less complicated then all of
that.
