HDparm testing results are ridiculous ( /dev/nvme0 is the SSD in question, /dev/sda is another HDD) ( Clarify: HDparm program is OK and not malfunctioning, the SSD itself has a wrong performance of only a few MB/s): hdparm -Tt /dev/nvme0n1

This drive is only half full and regularly trimmed. It worked well for over a year and only last week, suddenly, processes started going D (uninterruptable sleep) randomly. That's an HP SSD EX920 1TB installed on a desktop computer running 24/7 as a personal server. A lot of z_wr_iss threads show up randomly once in a while.

Update 2: Confusingly, atop shows no strange disk activity, yet the disk is still "very active".

Now I'm inclined to believe it's a software issue - the SSD should be OK itself. If you want to discuss any third-party tools, drop a comment below and let us know.Update 1: I rebooted this server into another Ubuntu (also 20.04 LTS) installed on the HDD, and hdparm -tT shows a reasonable performance of over 1 GB/s. Throughout this post, you got to know about the multiple ways you can check the health of your Hard Disk Drives and Solid-State Drives. You’ll get all the arguments and parameters you can mix and match to customize the tests as extensive and comprehensive as possible. If you want to explore all the possible options you can use with the smartctl command, you can pull it up by using the following: $smartctl -help You’ll get the following short output, and rather than stats, you’ll see if the test passed or failed. If you want to inspect the overall health of your data storage device, type and run the following: $sudo smartctl -d ata -H /dev/sda

Through this long test, you’ll get everything included in the short test along with much more. You’ll get the following output.įollowing a short testing, you can run a long test, using the following command: $sudo smartctl -t long -a /dev/sda Through this short test, you’ll test the electrical and mechanical properties along with read/verify. Now you can launch a short test, using the following command: $sudo smartctl -t short -a /dev/sda Once the service has been started, get the information of your hard drive through the following command: $sudo smartctrl -i /dev/sda You’ll get an output similar to the following: Testing the health of your HDD/SSD Type this command to check the status: $systemctl status smartd Since you need the service running, you need to check the status of the service before running any tests. Once done, you’ll need to start the service through the following command $systemctl start smartd

In your terminal, type the following: $sudo apt-get install smartmontools -y Through the terminal, you’ll need to start by installing the SmartCtl package. If there are multiple storage devices, you can go back to the previous window and select the other device to test it.

In the window that opens up, you’ll be able to see the status of your data storage device.

Open the options menu, it’s next to the minimize button.

Once the application opens up, it will list the data storage devices in your computer, as shown below.

In this post, we’ll outline the main ways how you can check the health of your HDD/SSD in Ubuntu 20.04. If you want to ensure that your computer performs optimally, it is crucial that your HDD/SSD performs well. The main differences between these two boils down to the price and the IO speeds, but that’s a discussion for another post. The two main types are known as HDD aka Hard Disk Drive and SSD aka Solid-State Drive. A data storage device is a core-component of any computer. Though laptops and desktops are very resilient, you should keep checking the health of the components to ensure the longevity.
