I don't see why not. I assume you're running a 64-bit OS. There may be limits on 32-bit.Can I write a 4TB file in C ?
Also, do unbuffered reads and writes if possible, otherwise the Linux disk cache could skew the test.
I'd access the parent device (/dev/sdX), and probably write lots of 1MB blocks filled with the block number. Then read them back in. I doubt you'll need to write 100GB before you find a problem.
I've got an SSD that claims to be 240GB here that I need to run a test on. I think it's probably a 60GB drive.
The other thing to do is to open it up and look at the chips inside. But only if you aren't planning to return it.
