Hey,<br>
<br>
I am buying a new hard drive for my computer and I was wondering what are some good hard drive stress test and how long should I let it run for. I also do not mind what platform (windows, mac, or linux) it will run on. Speaking of hard drives, which brand do u guys recommend?<br>

Bonnie++ is a disk benchmarking tool, but you can use it for stress testing as well.  Pretty easy to compile on Linux.  I&#39;m not sure if it works on OSX or windows.<br><font color="#888888">
