   Isn't that a "SMART" disk? See  man smartctl  and the disk   
   itself should tell you if it's okay, or else what's wrong   
   with it. I had a 2TB hdd fail a while ago, but a week or two   
   before it died, messages started displaying during boot   
   that warned me it was about to die. Gave me plenty of time   
   to do several extra backups of everything (and  rsync -c  them   
   against earlier backups just to double-check), and to buy   
   a replacement hdd. Hadn't been aware of SMART and smartctl   
   before that, but now I regularly use smartctl to check disks.
