Difference of /dev/nvme0, /dev/nvme0n1, /dev/nvme0n1p1

Why is there both character device and block device for nvme?, Interpreting wiki/documentation for an NVMe disk

  • /dev/nvme0 represents the raw device and is the “control” device node that you use to configure the hardware. It’s the NVMe device controller.
  • /dev/nvme0n1, on the other hand, represents the first namespace on that device. The n1 denotes the first namespace of the device. These are the devices you use for actual storage, which will behave essentially as disks. This is what I get when I issue the "lsblk" command. So /dev/nvme0n1 is like /dev/sda.
  • /dev/nvme0n1p1 represents a partition on an NVMe storage namespace. So /dev/nvme0n1p1 is like /dev/sda1.

USB adapter

  • man smartctl and search for "-d TYPE".
  • The message Unknown USB bridge [Please specify device type with the -d option.] indicates that smartctl is unable to automatically detect the type of USB bridge used by your external drive.
  • You can try using the -d sat option to specify that the device type is a SATA drive behind a SCSI-to-ATA Translation (SAT) layer. This is exactly the case for vantec adapter. GSmartControl also showed it is /dev/sdc (scsi) in the Drive information. Oddly, when I use Ugreen adapter, dmesg also shows it is scsi but GSmartControl does not show scsi. That is being said, it does not hurt to add -d sat parameter to the smartctl command.
    $ sudo dmesg
    ...
    [997217.895800] scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Crucial_ CT525MX300SSD1   1414 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6
    [997217.899060] sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0
    ...
    
    sudo smartctl -a -d sat /dev/sdX
    

    The -d option is used to specify the device type, which can be useful when smartctl is unable to correctly guess the device type. For example, on some systems, smartctl may correctly guess that a drive is a SATA drive, while on other systems it may not. In such cases, the -d sat option can be used to explicitly specify that the device is a SATA drive.

  • GSmartControl displays SMART supported is Yes on Ugreen adapter but No on Vantec adapter.
  • On Samsung PSSD T7, I need to use sudo smartctl -a -d scsi /dev/sdc
  • If this doesn’t work, you can try other device types such as -d sat,12, -d usbcypress, -d usbjmicron, -d usbprolific, or -d usbsunplus. You can find more information about these options in the smartctl man page or by running smartctl --help.

Understanding smartctl -a output

SMART overall-health self-assessment test result

You can run the command smartctl -H /dev/sdX to check the overall-health self-assessment test result of the drive. If the test result is PASSED, it means that the drive is considered healthy according to the SMART system. If the test result is FAILED, it means that the drive is considered to be in a pre-failure condition and may fail soon.

Raw_Read_Error_Rate

https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/384833

  • The THRESH column tells you what the vendors considers as lowest possible value considered as healthy.
  • If the WORST column shows values below THRESH in same row, the drive is considered as not healthy. It also implies that VALUE has been seen below THRESH, of course. You can also see that only the attributes of type Pre-fail matter when evaluating health.

Output from a brand new disk

SMART support/capability

  • Use sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb . If I use sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb1, it will show SMART support is: Unavailable - device lacks SMART capability.
  • gsmartcontrol can show the command it used though it does not print everything. Select a disk and click Options -> View Execution Log'.

Samsung Portable SSD T7

Yes, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 (PSSD T7) supports S.M.A.R.T. data reporting. However, there have been some issues with Linux tools not working with the Samsung PSSD T7. This issue has been fixed with a pull request to the `drivedb` of `smartmontools`. If your `drivedb` is current, it will now work correctly. If it is not current, you can manually add the `-d sntasmedia` argument to `smartctl` or update the `drivedb` independently of `smartmontools` by using the update-smart-drivedb command; see Linux tools don't work with Samsung PSSD T7 & NVMe pass-through support for Samsung T7 SSD.
