Ah yes - that video is what got this whole thing going in the first place... I referenced it in one of my other posts much earlier. Heh... there's something gruesomely entertaining about brutishly taking a drill or sledge hammer to a piece of precision hardware like that.
But yes, that's the kind of torture test I would like to conduct, however, I'm operating on a limited test-budget right now, and I have to get the damn thing working in the first place before I start performing tests I can't easily reverse (I still have yet to fire up Bonnie++ and do some benchmarking), and most definitely before I can put on a show for those who control the draw strings to the purse... But, imagine: walking into... oh say, I dunno... your manager's office, for example, and asking him to beat the hell out of one of your server's hard drives all the while promising him that no data would be lost, and none of his video on demand customers would ever notice an interruption in service. He might think you're crazy, but if it still works at the end of the day, your annual budget just might get a sizable increase to help you make all the other servers "sledge hammer resistant" like the first one. ;) But that's just an example. That functionality could (and probably does) prove useful almost anywhere.
