I ran the same SSD health check on Linux and Windows—only Linux gave me the full picture

OK this was not “me” obviously, as I run Linux as my main OS. But interesting as I always thought CrystalDiskInfo was the best tool out there for SSD checking (or maybe that was the marketing PR that stuck in my head?).

Commands like this are actually useful, as I use similar ones to extract specific data I want to monitor, and I display it on a Conky window on my desktop.
