GSmartControl is a GUI for smartctl for querying and controlling SMART data on modern hard disk and solid-state drives

Bild/Foto
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools package), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk and solid-state drives. It allows you to inspect the drive’s SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.

GSmartControl supports ATA drives (both PATA and SATA), various USB to ATA bridges, and drives behind some RAID controllers. GSmartControl supports all major desktop operating systems, including Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, and other BSD-style operating systems.

GNU Linux bash - script detailed info about harddisk and smart tests short and long and scanning for badblocks

examples: badblocks -nvs /dev/xxx This would check the drive "sdb" in non-destructive read-write mode and display progress by writing out the block numbers as they are checked. badblocks -wvs /dev/xxx This would check the sixth partition of the drive "sdb", in destructive[...]

ATTO Disk Benchmark Result Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 500GB MZ-V8P500BW on older ASUS Mainboard (i5)

because Win 10 compared to Win 7 is incredibly slow, a way to upgrade an older ASUS Mainboard was found

  • RAM was increased from 8 GB to 32 GB
  • it actually had an M.2 slot for the MZ-V8P500BW NVMe SSD (it is a NVMe but not directly PCIe attached but speaks to mainboard via SATA (SSD))

while not close to the theoreticall possible speeds of:

Read: 6,900 MB/s

Write: 5,000 MB/s

(src: do they mean Bits or Bytes here?)

imho those are impressive harddisk speeds, well done Samsung 🙂

the user can try finding that NVMe SSD on ebay

when it comes to harddisk benchmarks, ATTO is probably “better” than CrystalDiskMark as Crystal seems to actually meassure RAM-cached-harddisk-speeds?

what are the most reliable resilient harddisks - stay away from: Intenso 8tb aka Seagate ST8000DM004 - shingled piece of ... no good for anything especially no good for backups

the harddisk reliability toplist: [caption id="attachment_24209" align="alignnone" width="743"] https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html\[/caption\] Backblaze regularly publishes statistics on their harddisk failure rates for different models. also yearly data is published: (thanks! it is really really helpful :) [caption id="attachment_24206" align="alignnone" width="730"] https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-for-2020/\[/caption\] just imagine this worst[...]
