on ubuntu or debian press the windows key and type disks. click the icon that comes up. This is the Gnome disks manager. This will open a program that will show all your drives. Select a drive then in the top right of the window is a menu button; from there you can choose SMART or benchmark.
Yes you can do full read & write tests from a live cd.
