Samsung SSD Magician DC
-S [--smart]
Used to select a specific drive connected to the system and get the SMART Value. For example, if --disk X is specified, where X is the physical disk index, it lists down the SMART attributes of the disk X connected to HOST system. Also used to log temperature of the disk and estimate its life time and the percentage of the available LBA to replace. Also used to execute SMART Self-Test.
| | -t [--temperature] Enables the user to log the temperature of the disk. |
| Arguments: | -q [--query] Displays the percentage of the available LBA to replace. |
| -a [--analyzer] Displays the lifetime estimation of the disk by SMART value. |
| |
| | --analyzer should be followed by either --start or --stop subcommands. |
| | -e [--execute] Execute SMART Self-Test. |
| | --execute should be followed by --offlineshort, --offlineextended, --offlineselective, -- |
| | captiveshort, --captiveextended, --captiveselective, --abort, --checkstatus |
| | subcommands. | | | |
| Used with: | --disk [or] -d | | | |

※Note: Default folder location is /usr/local/Magician/SMARTFiles/. Temperature will be logged into a file “Log_Temperature.txt” in default location if no valid file path is provided.
To estimate the lifetime of the SSD, first --analyzer should be run with --start and then with --stop subcommand. If “Wear Leveling
Count” of the SSD is same when executing “--start” and “-- | stop” subcommands, then lifetime is displayed as infinite. |
To check the current progress of SMART OFF-LINE SelfTest, “-- | checkstatus" subcommand should be used. |
To stop the execution of SMART OFF-LINE SelfTest, “--abort" subcommand should be used.
