First I would look at the SMART.

Ub has a smartctl in the package smartmontools.

  How do I check the health of a SSD?

... but also read the comments section in the 2nd one.

If you were thinking about Hiren's for its virtual miniXP environment, 
it also has quite a lot of hdd utilities  -- see the numerous utilities 
in the hdd section of hiren's on this page 
http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd

Questions about utilities to check ssd/s suggest Crystal which is on 
Hiren's.
