Unlike the Bonnie++ seek test, which aimed at just twice your total RAM by default, you can easily make this test span a large portion of the disk instead. Any seek results should always include what portion of the disk the seeking took place over. To get useful results from larger disks, you might want to use hundreds of GB worth of data on this test, instead of just the 2 * RAM that Bonnie++ uses for its seek testing.
