I just ordered some used enterprise SAS drives, and before I put any files on them I wanna stress test for a few days and make sure that everything is kosher. Years ago, when I ran unRAID, there was a process called "pre-clear" where you would have all zeros written to all sectors of the drive, and then read back to verify, and then this is repeated for $X number of times.
Is there an equivalent to this in the Drivepool/Scanner world? Alternatively, is there any sort of other recommended procedure here, or maybe a different stress test software I can run on my Server 2022 drivepool/scanner setup?
