I'd suggest smartmontools as a start:

    Description: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.
     The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl
    and smartd)
     to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring,
    Analysis and
     Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA
    and SCSI
     hard disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes
    support
     for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. It should run on any modern Linux system.
