If you have a Quantum Drive, you can use the SCSI Mode Select command to set
the "Fill Data Pattern Enable" bit in one of the Quantum Unique Drive Control
Parameter pages.  Then you can specify a data pattern in the SCSI Format Unit
command.

I have not actually done this myself, but this is what the "Product Manual" for
my Quantum drive says.  The Quantum drives seem to be so reliable that I just
let the drive take care of itself.  Well, most of the time anyway :)
