How do I check the health of a SSD? - Ask Ubuntu


we know ssds have limited predetermined life span. question me how check in (ubuntu) linux current health status of ssd is? , maybe estimation how long take?

graphical tool preferred, command line tool fine.

i'm using xubuntu 12.04 lts

install gnome disk utility , check smart data , tests wear-leveling-count or similar. higher number (%, 1 100), more "used up" ssd is, means more have problems. if have recent ssd, need not worry it.

installed via

 sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility 

start via

either menu->settings->disk utility

or via command line

sudo palimpsest
