Hello friend!
You can test it with the help of seagate hdd diagnosis tool.
SeaTools for DOS v2.07 (Graphical)
SeaTools for DOS can test a Parallel ATA (PATA and IDE) or a Serial ATA (SATA) interface disc drive. Because the software boots to its own operating system you can test your drive regardless of the OS installed on it. You can even test a new or completely blank drive. SeaTools for DOS will instruct the drive to run its built in Drive Self Test (DST) and give either a pass or fail status.
