Re: testing hard drives

Formatting the drives is as good as test as any - a full format (not quick format) should write to every sector on the disk.

I've used PowerMax before, but only on PATA not SATA drives... try looking on the Maxtor site for info about PowerMax to see if it works with SATA drives
