Software to stress test a Seagate SV35 4TB?

[Akr706]

Bought a Seagate SV35 4TB. Is there any software to stress test it or something? Just want to be sure about its reliability before putting it into service.

That not how it work. it a mechanical drive, you can test if it work or failing now, can't tell if it going to fail later.

Hard drives are mechanical and can be tested using some benchmark software like Seagate SeaTools and many free tools. At this stage, you can review the parameters in its S.M.A.R.T. readout, and it should look normal.
To actually stress test it using many apps, it could make the hard drive die sooner than later if there is already some issues. If there are not issues with the drive, you won't be able to find out even after stress testing.
The best practice for mechanical hard drives is to install them properly and make sure it's installed in an environment that's relatively cool and with low vibration. Both factors deteriorate the life span of hard drives.
Also, back up the data daily or at least weekly to make sure there is a way to recover them if the drive fails.
