Hard Drive Question

I have a couple of hard drives that are currently not being used that I want to put music on. Before I do so, I'd like to check them out to make sure they are both working OK. Can anyone recommend a utility to do this? I use Linux as my main OS but I also have Windows 7 on another machine, so I can use either OS for this. Both drives are about a year old and identical. (2TB Seagate SATA internal's)

I'll second HDTune. I like how they highlight the troublesome SMART data in yellow.

You could also use Seatools, but I am always suspicious of utilities that are provided by the manufacturer.

I think HD Tune works with eSATA, but I don't have time to check right now.
