I'd suggest smartmontools as a start:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Description: control and monitor storage systems using
S.M.A.R.T.<br>
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl
and smartd)<br>
to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring,
Analysis and<br>
Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern
ATA and SCSI<br>
hard disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and
includes support<br>
for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. It should run on any modern Linux system.<br>
