Comments about GSmartControl as an Alternative to CrystalDiskInfo
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!

- 20 diskscan alternatives
Diskscan is intended to provide the information needed to decide if a disk is good or not, be it an HDD or an SSD it is likely to be holding important data and if you have a suspicion that it is failing it is also important to know how bad is it down the road.

diskscan VS CrystalDiskInfo
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.
