    Works pretty alright, enough for my needs, though there's some values where it will say "pre-failure" for even the values you get out-of-the-box with a new drive, something to be aware of.

    To respond to the one negative comment, all drives will show as "unknown device" IF you don't run the program with admin privileges -- even my SATA HDDs and SSDs will display as "unknown device" if I do not have superuser privs.

    It doesnt support NVME SSD's which was the WHOLE reason I wanted to chcek the smart stats. This useless pile of junk just says it is an unknown device! The disk in question is a fully SMART compatible NVME SSD from a major disk manaufacturer - if this program cant identifu it it isnt much good!

    The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks.

    Entirely command-based with no quick start guide for when you just want to check a disk.

    Small, easy, complete, don't know how to use it just smartctl -h or man smartctl and you will have all the documentation you need.

    DriveDx is advanced drive health diagnostic and monitoring utility. Unlike most drive utilities, DriveDx does not only monitor the drive’s built-in S.M.A.R.T. status, but also analyzes the changes of all drive health indicators that are closely related to HDD or SSD failures...

    I frequently use CrystalDiskInfo on my PCs and have started trying out similar utilities for the Mac. DriveX is the first I've tried. Its format is clear and concise It'sexplanations in popup boxes are very useful.

    Incredibly in-depth statistics on disk status laid out well, plainly explained with an easy to use interface. I've always got the information I've wanted with it without issues or confusion.

    SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some hard disk drive failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the built-in S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drives as well as performing other checks for "I/O errors" or R.A.I.
