If the drive is SMART enabled you can also use smartctl to get the SMART
information or run a long or short SMART test. That will at least tell
you if the drive itself thinks there is an error.

It shouldn't be tough to rule out the cable :-]

I've seen such messages that vanished when I changed the IO/DMA settings
with hdparm. Also, I'd run /sbin/badblocks on the device in any case.
