Only software to display well the SMART results of SSDs and HDDs
[HD Tune] has been split into two editions. [HD Tune] is legacy v2.55 portable and installer (circa) 2014, both FREE.
[HD Tune PRO] is upgraded legacy (installer) to v5.75 (27-Aug-2019) PRO is more advanced than the legacy edition. PRO is only available as installer (no portable) PRO cost $34.95 usd (€24.95 ) ... no freebies.

This is a great tool for measuring the performance of a Hard Drive. It will measure the Max and Avg Read Speed. It will also measure the drive temp and list the drive features. Also, the tool will allow you to run diagnostics on the drive to find errors. It has a nice user interface.
