This is the only one I know of:

http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm

They also have a nice bit of free-ware that tells you 
when your drives are about to "self-destruct";-) - 
http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm

It's one of those little bits of software that either 
gives you (false) peace of mind or makes you panic 
(equally false) - but it certainly let me know that the 
internal drives on my PC were running much too hot - 
picking all the fluff out of the cooling fan fixed that!

BTW: I always get the impression that using Windows is 
about the toughest stress you can subject drives to 
anyway;-)

Cheers
Douglas
