In fact, I will demonstrate GNOME Disks from my Elementary OS Freya desktop. GNOME Disk is not limited to distributions running GNOME.
Let’s install GNOME Disks and use it to test the health of your installed SSDs. Get a quick glimpse of your drive’s healthĪll from a handy, user-friendly GUI tool. Thanks to a very handy tool called GNOME Disks, you can get a quick glimpse of your drive health and run standard tests on the drive. Does that mean Linux users must remain in the dark as to their drive health? No. However, most of that software is, as you might expect, Windows-only. Many SSDs you purchase are shipped with software that can be used to monitor said health. After all, your data depends on the storing drives being sound and running properly. With no moving parts to wear out, these drives can (effectively) enjoy a longer life than standard platter-based drives.Įven though these drives are not prone to mechanical failure, you will still want to keep tabs on their health. They are faster, and the latest iterations are more reliable than traditional drives. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are slowly becoming the norm, with good reason.
