something you had to put on a floppy to be able to test more

All recent drives support SMART - to test a drive you can install
sysutils/smartmontools and use smartctl to run a test e.g
smartctl -t long /dev/ad0
There are various different tests you can run, including surface tests,
online and offline etc.
