See the libata wiki, and run smartctl -a against each drive in turn. Look for non-zero reallocated sector counts, non-zero pending sector counts (check the "raw" data field for both), as well as logged SMART errors etc. etc. If you have a suspect bad drive, you can use smartctl to tell the drive to run a smart long self test.
