SMART

GSmartControl

Run GSmartControl via the GNOME Apps launcher, or if that doesn't start, then via the terminal like this:

sudo WAYLAND_DISPLAY=$WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR gsmartcontrol

GNOME Disk (gnome-disks) also shows some of this - but GSmartControl is much more comprehensive.

smartctl

https://www.smartmontools.org:

$ sudo smartctl --scan-open
/dev/sda -d sat # /dev/sda, ATA device
/dev/sdb -d sat # /dev/sdb, ATA device
/dev/nvme0 -d nvme # /dev/nvme0, NVMe device
/dev/nvme1 -d nvme # /dev/nvme1, NVMe device

and then:

sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda

or:

sudo smartctl --scan-open | awk '{print $1, $2, $3}' | xargs -L 1 sudo smartctl -x
