This is how long it takes to burn in a Toshiba MG09 18 TB drive using badblocks. Around 8 days + 1 more day if you add a long S.M.A.R.T test at the end. I recommend doing so before trusting a new drive with my data. Especially one so large. I ran badblocks via tmux on my TrueNas server.2yr ⋅ Casual_Tea_94 ⋅ r/DataHoarder
