Hi all,
Just wondering if there's something for friendly to use than badblocks to test a disk?

Just doing a 'badblocks -vw /dev/sda' and it does 5 passes to ensure it's good, but it doesn't tell you where it's at....

Does anybody use anything other than this to test a disk?
Bought two new SATAII disks and want to make sure they're good before I start using them.
