Smartctl
sudo apt install smartmontools
To use:
sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda
and
sudo smartctl -l farm /dev/sda
NOTE: FARM (Field Accessible Reliability Metrics) is only supported on Seagate drives.
To check if a disk is really new(ish), compare the Power_On_Hours vs. “Power on Hours” in the two results.
- Other values that can also be checked, include “Head Flight Hours” and “Power Cycle Count”; they should also roughly match what you would expect from a hard disk of a certain age.
- All near zero, of course, for a factory-new hard disk.
