We can get each drive's serial number, power on hours, and manufacture date with the following one-liner:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
for dev in {a..e}; \
|
||
|
|
do echo "### /dev/sd$dev" && \
|
||
|
|
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd$dev
|
||
|
|
done
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure to update this list *only* when a disk is newly installed. Also note the date of installation for the disk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or, if you're only updating one drive:
|
||
|
|
1. Set the `$dev` variable to the drive letter you want to check (e.g. for `/dev/sdr`, use `dev=r`)
|
||
|
|
2. Run the one-liner: `smartctl -a /dev/sd$dev'`
