Default Utility to burn in new hard drive?

As for one-system-one-drive type of burn in, not really, at
most you can again run the manufacturers diagnostics if
they'll run, and try installing windows/other-OS.


If the drive has a jumper labelled SS (Self Seek), this
will give it a jolly good work through with just the power
connected. Unfortunately, this has become quite rare on
disks nowadays, whereas it was once quite standard.
