Stress Testing Hard Drives

[Billy Crook]

Can anyone recommend a program or method of stress testing hard drives?  I
check memory/cpu with memtest86, but I would like some way to stress test a
hard drive.  Currently I dd urandom over it for a few days or DBAN it, but
I'm looking for something more thought out.  Preferably, a program that can
run on a live system so I'd just attach the drive to be tested, and point
the test at /dev/sdd or whatever dev it was on.  Preserving data on the
drive is (obviously) not a concern.
