### Example
Starting the tool using:

SSDStressTest.exe --drive=c --smart=PowerOnHoursPOH --smart=PowerCycleCount
SSDStressTest.exe --drive=C --smart=PowerOnHoursPOH --blocksize=8m --interval=10000

Will test drive/partition C: and monitor the SMART values "PowerOnHoursPOH" and "PowerCycleCount" (just for an example, monitoring these values is pointless.). An output file will then be generated:
