I have an HP Server w/ a Smart Array controller I need to test. I always used to use Inquisitor for this, but the hd tests are flaking out on the cciss syntax and I don't have time to dig into it, the machine is essential and I need to know whats needing to be replaced asap. Anyone know a live cd based stress test that works on SA controllers? Thanks! jlc

I recently discovered it and it's nice since you can create scripts based on its output to alert you when a drive fails etc... Best regards, Jorge
