windows - How can I monitor a hard disk drive that may be dying?

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and have a drive that I think may be dying, so I ran 4 different repair tools on it. And now WD Data Lifeguard shows no disk errors at all after a full test. I’m still concerned about the stability of the disk, but I would like to try using it again with the knowledge that any data on it could be destroyed at any time.


Is there a way I can monitor the disk access reads/writes or whatever information I would need to be able to tell if the hard disk drive is in fact going bad? I don’t mind having a program run in the background to monitor as I’ll likely only be using it for a few weeks at most.
