Testing dozens of sd cards after 2 years
I actually played with that software for a few minutes and tested an NVME SSD and got no issues. Sucks up space very quickly (depending on disk speed), so it does seem to be a very useful tool. For ease of use, the ready to run binary files are here: https://github.com/ncw/stressdisk/releases, and on windows, the CMD prompt you would use is

Coming back to mister after 2 years
I never have issues with amazon and counterfeit SDs, then again i also tend to run burn in tests on any SDs i buy before actually putting them into service. Stressdisk is a really good one i like to go with.

First time user
Whatever you decide, I'd run stressdisk for about 24h(the default time) before putting it into service, but maybe that's just the paranoia talking. It's pretty good at what it does.

Unrecognised drive when copying IMG file to USB
Consider the possibility of the drive being not entirely reliable. Careful use of StressDisk might reveal something.

[HELP] External 4bay yottamaster keeps disconnecting
And as for the stress test: I've had them all in the enclosure. I disabled raid mode, so all 4 drives showed up individually, and then I ran https://github.com/ncw/stressdisk this script twice parallel on each drive. It did not die then :\

[HDD] WD Elements 12TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive Black - $179.99 (Code: 93XQR27)
I like to use short smart, then stressdisk for 72h, then long smart. Or there's Hard Disk Sentinel that will do all that in one program. Sentinel costs money, but with a google search for a coupon, I think it's like $12. Great investment if you are going to be working with a lot of disks for, I dunno, a NAS. :D

How to check an external hard drive before you shuck it?
If you're running Linux, I'd install stressdisk and see if any errors occur. Could save a lot of grief later.
