i must confess i download a lot of movies , i there fore have 5 hard drives in my machine , non new just collected from various places recently i had a problem where 2 of my hard drives failed and i lost a lot of good movies and music so i wondered if there was a way to check my hard drive status and know in advance so being lazy me i looked for a gui metthod . I learnt  alot of the gurus wanna use command line smartcontrol .
For  me i looked for an easier way found this GSmartControl
http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Home works very very  well it immediately showed me a drive that was about to fail , so i thought if anyone else interested  you can pick your distro add to your repo
