Tangentially related. Whenever I get a new drive, I always do a "burn-in". A program writes data to the whole drive and then reads it back (reproducible random data).
Is there any real justification for doing this kind of test on a new drive?
Doing it takes quite awhile, so I've been wondering lately if it's even worth it. I've never found anything with it.
