About 1/4 of hard drives I buy die in the first 24 hours since I unsportingly run badblocks on them to see whether they're on the start of the failure curve.

It's on the TrueNAS forum, but it'll work on basically any Linux system. I'm currently using Unraid, which is based on Slackware.
(I must be luckier than the parent, because I've only had a single drive in a dozen or more die during testing - and that was a used one off ebay!)
There are probably better stress test approaches out there. The basic idea is to find out if your drive is one that'll die early before putting a load of data you want to keep on it.
I don't do this to ssd as they have lowish write limits anyway, so I just assume any data written to a ssd will vanish at some point. Hard drives in a network share, ssd in dev machines treated as scratch storage.
