O/H Don O'Neil ??:
I have an array that has a drive that keeps timing out/failing... So I need
to replace it. However, I want to stress test/burn in a replacement disk
first.
What is the best way to do this?

I think that the best way to do this is by using the vendors specific
test utility. All known HDD vendors have made utilities to test and find
out some basic stats for their products. A very good way to get all the
known utilities and much more small usefull programs to test hardware is
the Ultimate boot CD. A very nice work has been done and very usefull
small programms like memtest, maxtor(sea tools), western digital (dlg
diag) etc are included. You can run a surface scan for your disk (that
will surely get it to an edge) and find out its temperature, afterwards,
and how responds in general. I have been using that for years to find
hardware problems.
