Install smartmontools and interrogate the smart data on the drive, if
it reports a reallocated sector count and it keeps growing you know
your drive is on it's way out. A static reallocated sector count
doesn't necessarily mean your drive is bad but if that count keeps
growing it's not a good sign.
