Hard Drive Health smartctl Data
by Completely Clueless from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58HQ6)
Gentlemen,
I've just updated from Mint 17 to 20, got the essentials all up and running and thought I'd better run a HDD health check at the same time before going any further, just in case the drive is a junker. As ever, the smartctl output passeth all my understanding so I was hoping some kind souls here could interpret the hieroglyphs below for me? Is the disk any good?
Many thanks.
