If its a HDD the interesting counter from smartctl are these two for me: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 For an SSD I want to know hold much data has been written so that I can calculate how long until the drives endurance is exceeded: 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 351959 For all the SSD's I own I know the endurance figure. I will not buy an SSD that the manufacturer does not publish the endurance for.
