try the smartmontools package, it has "smartctl" that will show you the discs S.M.A.R.T. details (i.e. how many bad blocks the firmware knows, the errors the firmware knows about, etc.). It can also run a self test etc.
doing a backup couldn't hurt. btw: are you sure cables are ok?
Good Luck!
Andreas
