While I consider myself quite knowledgeable on the topic, I still like to ask questions to gain other perspectives and opinions.
I have six 4TB NVMe modules coming in and I want to test them specifically for thermal properties to ensure I have no issues overheating. I do not want to perform a significant write test but I'm perfectly fine doing many read test. So the question is, what options are there to generate the maximum heat in an NVME?
I plan to run a SMART Long Test on each drive a few times, maybe I should put it into a looping script and that will generate some heat. I am also thinking badblocks in non-destructive mode might be an option, but I don't yet know it it is actually a read only test. If it is a Read, Write, Read test then it's a nogo for me.
All of the NVMe modules are PCIe 4.0.
Appreciate the feedback.
