What is a good program to determine if a hard drive is going bad?

I recently set up a RAID array with 2 IBM 60GXPs I got from PCClub. 2 months later, one of the drives died. I removed the defective one and reinstalled windows XP on the remaining one. Just yesterday, I tried to boot up my system, and got a unmountable boot volume exception. I ran IBM DFT program and I had bad sectors. After remapping and zeroing out the drive, I reinstalled again and am back up in running. How can I tell if this drive is aboutto die also?
