What you can do is go to the web site of the manufacturer.
Sometimes you can download their diagnostic tool which
will give more detailed information. Their diag tool is non-destructive
if you select the non-destructive tests.
If you get errors, you can then use that error log and email it to
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And they will advise you to go to their RMA web site and request
a return merchandise authorisation (rma).

I just did that with a 500gb seagate drive which had only a few days 
remaining
in the warranty. I received a brand new replacement.

Good luck.
