Description

Mechanical hard drives can be spun and stressed during burn-in checks. It is useful for finding early hardware problems before trusting a drive with long-term storage.

This tool intentionally exercises disks and can accelerate failure on weak hardware. Confirm the target drive and keep important data backed up elsewhere.
