    I believe Seagate has an utility you can use to check a drive. Also if the
    drive was bought in the last couple of years and your motherboard supports
    SMART monitoring I believe there is a port that can interface to the SMART
    interface in your hardware.

    problems.

    To check if your system has SMART monitoring check your BIOS.
