Most reliable way is to write random data to the entire disk, then verify all of it. The disk can't fake storing it, as it could if you zeroed it.

I usually just dd something on to it, and see where it stops. I've never had one of the recirculating firmware drives that just keeps taking data but doesn't store it - but then again I don't buy 1TB flash drives from wish.com for 9.95$
