I picked up a ton of used SAS drives (3.5" & 2.5") for free with 3 to 8 enterprise years on them knowing I'll have bad ones. Some won't spin up at all and some spin but won't mount. The remaining I've thrown in stripes (FreeNAS pool) and have done poor man stress tests by transferring large sets of data back and forth with rsync and cp. Initially this weeded out a good amount of failing drives (SMART failures), but with each advancing round they're failing less and less. Obviously this method is slow and tedious - is there a faster method to weed out bad drives??
