Don't know about 'burn-in' tools, but benchmark programs tend to put drives through their paces.
I've used iozone (www.iozone.org) in the past with good results, and I've heard other say good things about bonnie (http://www.textuality.com/bonnie/index.html) and bonnie++ (http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/).
I just setup iometer on one of the machines and started. The problem with them is that benchmarks are not going to do surface analysis on the whole drive are they?
