Back to school!!
Don't laugh at the title, my Seagate HDD was showing replaced sector for a few months, they increase 1-2 every week, when it reached about 30 and crashed my OS twice/epic BSOD, caused data corruption(AC3 save game lost 
) I took to to service who rejected it as it passed seagate check tool, now I need to damage it, damage it good so it would develop over 300 bad sector and maybe they'll they replace it, they seriously want me to use a failing hdd until it fails completely, its like this, you have a car the engine for which is failing, now you have to keep using it until it's completely dead, in the middle of nowhere. So I need to kill it.
I though of these methods.
1. Put a massive read write load using HD Tune, repeatedly wipe the drives, somehow make replaced sector over 300 so it fails seatools -Civilized way
2. Plug it in, power it on, now shake shake shake, just like making a milkshake, hopefully this will kill that damn thing - Ravage it
So suggest, also this must not not make the drive void of warranty, so if I take path 2 will they somehow find out and reject it? Is their any metric in hdd and tools that keep a check on how much G it had experienced? Like an accelerometer?
PS: This thing has about 4-5 months warranty left, so not much time left.
