    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!

    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.

    SMARTReporter

     2 likes

    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.
