I have a RAID 5 configuration on a windows system and I would like to see how many reads and writes it will take for me to kill one of the drives in the configuration. Everywhere I look people are talking about smartctl conveyance test, badblocks, and SMART. But these seem to be Linux utilities and I need to test on windows. Also it is not clear that these are designed to test the drive till failure.

I would be able to use the eventviewer logs to compare drive failure time stamp with the corresponding timestamp of the testing software. For which I would assume the testing software logs the total number of reads and writes at a certain timestamp.
