For testing SCSI devices, several free items are aviable. IOMeter from Intel is good for testing disk speeds and read/writes. For the LAN side, a Fluke meter is about the best, but it does cost. In my 'personal' one man test kit, I have the usualCat cable tester (mine is cheap - less than $100) I also use Lanalyer to check the traffic.

Anything good is going to cost you. But Fluke or HP is a good place to find excellent testing equipment.
