I've got a disk that I'd like to excercise in order to see if it will reallocate marginal reads when written to. Normally I'd just zero the thing, destroy and toss it. But I feel like playing more. Because the data is still semi valuable, I want to read and write back every block of the disk. Any tools that will do this? Besides dd and shell math? Also, as with SCSI drives and camcontrol, is there a decent ATA mode page editor out there? Even if on Windows. Maybe this is more for the hardware list?
