Hi, We are currently looking for a nice drive burn in tool that will read-write and give the hard disks a good beating before we put them in production. This not Netapp specific but I just can't find anything. Before there was some great Free programs to do this, and somehow i can't find any...
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++/).
