If you still have same problem after reformat, running SMART is advised to tell if drive is faulty or about to die.

One more and hopefully final question. What is SMART?

It stands for "Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology"
On Linux you run SMART with the following command:
Bash:
sudo smartctl -av /dev/sdXYou need to replace
sdX with actual disk you're testing, for your specific disk that's sda, therefore:
Bash:
sudo smartctl -av /dev/sdaThis will generate SMART report that needs interpretation to conclude whether the disk is healthy or not.
