 Post subject: Mhdd - test hdd under "extreme" conditions
PostPosted: May 24th, 2004, 21:44 
Does mhdd 2.9 have a command to make a "through" cyclic test in the hdd? (reading/writing, need to run for at least 4 hours)

The ideia is to test very "unstable" hard disks, that manifest defects only after some hours of extreme usage. If it does not have, can someone point me to a good hdd "burning-test" software.

Regards,

-BR-

Not a big deal.
Place your drive into plastic package box with holes for interface and power cables. This will cause fast temperature grow. Then write a batch file, where you can place everything you want (probably cx, erase, scan).

PS I prefer to do it by hands, not batch: cx for some hours, then look up temp. and start scan.
