'smartctl -h /dev/sda' just says "PASSED" which is nice but not detailed. 'smartctl --all /dev/sda' tells me a lot but doesn't seem to tell me what I'm looking for. smartctl -t long /dev/sdX is the command that tests all sectors, if it reports an error send it back. I've successfully extended the life of drives with uncorrectable sectors by using the hdparm --write-sector command on the sector output in smartctl -l selftest.
