A good S.M.A.R.T util?

[Edward78]

I am wanting to see my drive health, I used Disks in linux on my old 3.5 HDD, it had a lot of off age & pre fail.  so I thought ok my 3.5 is going, nut then I did my 2.5 SSD & it has a lot of old age, so that seems wrong just got it around Jan this year, it being linux shouldn't be a issue right?

'Cuz Seagate has SeaTools thingie which is also available for linux

And having linux is not an issue...

rather it has the widest range of generic tools to test or benchmark

What is a good health util for this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SNHB4RC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm Disks gives me all old age on everything, that seems unlikely, got it Jan.

I think your misinterpreting what Type means. Type is a parameter that defines how its expected to fail in reference to its Threshold value.

You should have a Normed Value, so long as its higher than its Threshold value, its fine.

 

From smartctl.

Attributes are one of two possible types: Pre-failure or Old age. Pre-failure Attributes are ones which, if less than or equal to their threshold values, indicate pending disk failure. Old age, or usage Attributes, are ones which indicate end-of-product life from old-age or normal aging and wearout, if the Attribute value is less than or equal to the threshold. Please note: the fact that an Attribute is of type 'Pre-fail' does not mean that your disk is about to fail! It only has this meaning if the Attribute´s current Normalized value is less than or equal to the threshold value.
