I have a bunch of WD Reds on the way. They're destined for a new raid6 array. I'd like to know what the resident storage heavy hitters [looking at you mwroobel! ] do to stress test disks when building new arrays. iometer? bonnie? badblocks? Do you stress test the disks individually before creating the array, after, both? What's your testing protocol?
