I've just installed a 160Gb drive in my (pre mirrored door) G4, which according to apple can't deal with anything over 120Gb - reports on: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/big_ide_drive_support.html vary, so I'd like to test that I can read and write to the entire disk ok. I need to fill it and then read back data from beyond the 127Gb mark. Can anyone suggest handy command line tools for the job?
