Go ahead! I hope your boss will be convinced.
You certainly know the h2bench program (www.heise.de/ct) which the german
computer magazine c't uses for testing. It runs on DOS, but it is a good
tool to test speed etc. of your HDs.

 There is  something  frustrating  about  the quality  and  speed  of  Linux
 development.  I.e. the quality  is too high  and the speed  is too high, in
 other words,  I  can implement  this XXXX feature,  but I bet  someone else
 has already done it and is just about to release his patch to Linus soon...
    [From a posting of Tigran Aivazian to linux-kernel, XXXX = disk stat]
