--bioserase, --biosread and --bioswrite I cannot get you output for as I am not
sure how destructive they are.
storagetool
The storagetool tests mounted storage media.
The tool searches for any device in /dev/hd*, sda, sdb, or sdc and tests using them. The tests are file-copy
tests to the device in the mounted file system. The files are written, compared and removed, leaving the file
system as it was prior to the test. You can run additional tests using the
bonnie++ tool and the tool reads
SMART data from the device using the smart option.
Tests
The standard test creates a directory on the file system, opens a file for write, copies the file, compares the
files, and reports errors. The test repeats 10 times. After the test completes successfully,
storagetool
removes all the test files.
