Stress test a SSD?

Hi Im looking for a program or a script that can write files consistanly to a ssd. Im trying to run a stress test to verify the long term deterioration of a sdd.

You should need a random write benchmark. What OS are you on?

Running with TRIM?

Windows 7 x64bit, its for the X25-M. Yes im running it with TRIM.

Try IOmeter. Though TRIM only works with a filesystem, you may want to use the Toolbox utility when you're done benchmarking and want to use the drive for real.

umm yoiu can kill a ssd with about 36 hours of 4k random writes. at least thats what intel says....so be careful in your testing.

Cool! I was going to buy some cheapo SSD to see how long it would take me to kill it, but if someone else wants to I say go ahead and please post the results!
