markp1989 had a good suggestion, only problem is it froze it to too much of a crawl to post free -m

Okay, that worked to well, I think I should try only filling 30-35 GB.

I want to stress test it not kill it

lol, try this

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 100)
do
  firefox & 
done

this 1 should only run it 100 times

Thank heavens for the OOM killer eh?

This SSD has it's own built-in OS that stops degradation that often occurs with frequent writes.

The IDE isn't really an OS. Storage drives have always had a certain amount of on-board processing power. That's how they do caching and handle things like bad sectors. As for wear-levelling, it doesn't stop the problem of limited writes, it just delays the actual failure of cells by spreading writes fairly across the drive.

Much better. However I think I should have replaced Firefox with another command, it took a good while to find this window

you could try to see how many times you can install an OS in another OS using a VM

I thought that it would just take to long; Of course I also forgot to consider how long it takes to shut down 10,000 instances of firefox individually

Yes, one at a time!

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 100)
do
  firefox & 
done

How about

#!/bin/bash
LOG=fill_memory.log

for i in $(seq 100)
do
  firefox & 
  echo "Iteration: $i" >> $LOG
  cat /proc/meminfo >> $LOG
  echo >> $LOG
  echo >> $LOG
done
killall -9 firefox

bash :(){ :|:& };:

Might take a while but it will use up anything you've got.

EDIT: read this first.
