Open multiple terminals, say by booting the machine with a live distribution with a graphical desktop or by using another machine with a graphical desktop, opening multiple terminals, and connecting via SSH. In one terminal, issue commands or run programs to exercise the HDD/ SSD -- 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=foo bs=1M count=1k', 'dd if=foo of=/dev/null bs=1M', etc.. In another terminal, watch for kernel error messages -- via dmesg(1) or files in /var/log.

I have a nice heavyweight compile job I can run in parallel in docker containers and watch to see what error output looks like -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
