It might be a good idea to see what the SMART diagnostics can do

As root, in a very wide terminal window

   smartctl -a /dev/sda

will get you a status report on the disk. Look at the rightmost columns
for the actual reported values.

Then, run a long selftest

   smartctl -t long /dev/sda

Finally, check the results some time after smartctl's estimated time to
run the test

   smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

For more, see 'man smartctl'
