May not make a difference. I'm not sure about all manufacturers, but
on many consumer level drives the manufacturer software just checks
smart, like on my 500GB segate that's been RMA'd 3 times so far (on
fourth drive).

I would recommend running a tool like MHDD which is available as a
part of System Rescue CD. It will scan all your sectors and try to
read the data off bad sectors if possible. I actually disected a
System Rescue CD and pulled the parts off of it I wanted and have grub
boot options on all my PCs. (Memtest, MHDD, System Rescue CD)
