Since this is a sun list ;-) I'd recommend using the analyze option of the 
format command. It comes with all (?) versions of Solaris. There are 
various read, read/write/compare options that can be set/used.

It's also a useful command for "wiping" a disk that might have 
sensitive/important data on it before selling/giving the disk away.

Best of luck!
