調子の悪いNextorage製SSDの情報をSmartmontoolsで情報見たんだけど、'SMART support is Ambiguous' って出るな…。なんだこれ。

Je voulais résister aux sirènes consuméristes du Black Friday, mais l'outil de contrôle des disques durs Smartmontools m'informe que 2 sur 5 sont en pré-fail → commande de 4 DD pour remplacer ceux >5ans, sur Amazon (pas d'offre LDLC) et ce WE gros backup externe + réinstallation de l'OS et DD en vue

got curious if there was a way to see SSD health status on Linux and smartmontools/smartctl seems to do the trick.

running sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0 gave me a lot of data and percentage used is 1%, which I think is nice. it's written 18.7 TB of data and ours is rated 600 TBW

Ouais de ce que j'ai lu c'est une question de version de smartmontools inférieur à 0.75.

If this happened to me my first assumption would be that this disk is on its last legs, and I would back up all my data. I’d then use smartmontools to test the drive. linuxconfig.org/how-to-check...

Turns out I couldn't use the #TrueNAS GUI to do what I needed to do. The "tarnished" zpool is now being re-"silvered." (Get it?) Just downloaded smartmontools to take a look at the "bad" drive to make sure it is actually bad, and not just a blip in the matrix. Anywho.

Das lässt sich ohne die Specs des aktuellen Notebooks schlecht sagen. Red Flags sind:
- nicht mehr als 4 GB RAM
- Intel i3 oder niedrigere Preisklasse beim Prozessor
- Warnsignale bei S.M.A.R.T. (Festplatte, siehe z.B. www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Downloa...)

Der Betrug mit gebrauchten Seagate-Festplatten weitet sich auf weitere Modelle aus. Auch Käufer von Ironwolf-Modellen sollten die Laufwerke genau untersuchen.

Just run Gsmartcontrol on any external hard drives from time to time just to make sure that they are healthy. Gsmartcontrol can let you know something's going a little off before it actually happens.

Als erstes schauen, ob die CR2032-Knopfzelle auf den Mainboard vielleicht leer ist und damit BIOS-Einstellungen gelöscht wurden, die zum Booten notwendig sind.
Dann von CD/USB-Stick mit Smartmontools (z. B. Parted Magic) booten und schauen, ob die Disk ansprechbar ist, Fehler hat usw.
