So, sudo apt-get install smartmontools ?
Yes. Then follow some guide on how to check hard disk's health with
smartctl, for example this one:

<https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/SMART_tests_with_smartctl>
I installed smartmontools, then tried running the test ...
owner@owner-HP-Compaq-8000-Elite-CMT-PC:~$ sudo smartctl -t
<short|long|conveyance|select> /dev/sda
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
I still suggest checking or replacing the drive's cable. Hard drive
read errors, including the ones reported by smartctl, are sometimes
caused by a faulty cable or a faulty connector.
I don't open the computer anymore. I have a tech who's cheap and
willing. I'll try software options, first, then take it in, if needs be.
