I’m looking to add some large Enterprise HDD’s to my array and was wondering if a Long Smart Test would be sufficient before putting the drive into service?
I use Windows/Snapraid and have/use HDD Sentinel and also could run Read and/or write tests.
I’m curious what others testing methods are after a drive is shipped to them before putting it into service?
Long SMART test, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/[new disk], long smart test. That’s pretty much it.
