Not the person you asked, but I do something similar. This is the guide I like to follow for new drives: https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/hard-drive-burn-in-testing.92/ https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/hard-drive-burn-... It's on the TrueNAS forum, but it'll work on basically any Linux system. I'm currently using Unraid, which is based on Slackware. (I must be luckier than the parent, because I've only had a single drive in a dozen or more die during testing - and that was a used one off ebay!)
