In 2013 I used a program that analyzes the HDD and gives detailed and deep information about the hard disk. However, that program, CrystalDiskInfo, only works on Windows.
Is there a GUI that is similar to the CrystalDiskInfo which displays the information based on the S.M.A.R.T characteristics?
I am looking specifically for the life time hours to estimate how many hours did the laptop work.
I am running Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia 64-bit - MATE 1.18 on my DELL inspiron 1546

Yes, there’s GSmartControl, which provides a GUI showing the SMART information from all the drives attached to the system it’s run on.
In Mint it’s packaged as gsmartcontrol
.
Thanks !! it is pretty close and gives clear information except for life time hours. Anyways, thumbs up :)

It does show lifetime hours, see “Power-On Time†in the attributes.
