Re: possible compatibility issue?
According the image, no, it is not an NVMe SSD: the S.M.A.R.T. page of NVMe SSDs are completely different. Without seeing the complete details (model ID, firmware version, "raw" detected details, possible disk controller / driver which may also cause compatibility issue etc.) hard to say a...

Re: possible compatibility issue?
I do not see the software version, as it is not captured on the screenshots. Probably you use an older version of Hard Disk Sentinel which may not yet support this model/firmware combination. The latest version has several changes specifically for these Micron SSDs with Lenovo firmware, please see t...

Re: Report show "unhealthy", but it doesn't give any explanation.
Sorry, there is some confusion here. On the image, you selected drive #0 (Samsung SSD) so the Overview page shows the Health and details of that drive (including explanation of the Health of that drive) - but you ask about the WD drive below. I suggest to please select the WD drive as the Overview p...

Re: Extrém nagy indulás szám
Nem valószínű, hogy túlcsordult volna, ilyen manipuláció sem valószínű jelen esetben. Az viszont előfordulhat (ez nem ritka), hogy a működési időt a merevlemez nem mindig tudta megfelelően számolni. A legtöbb merevlemez órás egységet használ a működési idő rögzítésére. Ha energiagazdálkodási okokból...

Re: Drive Health Varies based on the Computer it is in
I'd check the text description on the Overview page (in addition to the Health % value) as generally it should explain the results, what kind of issues detected. There are numerous factors which can cause different Health % to be displayed. For example: 1) There is an option at Configuration -> Adva...

Re: Best way to recover data from failing drive?
Yes, as you can see, when the drive used with a better power source, most problems could be repaired and the Health % also improved. As the drive is now readable (after many reallocations) yes, a new clone will be probably possible. Just please note that the file(s) on the affected sectors can be da...

Re: Extrém nagy indulás szám
Igen, lehetséges ilyen mennyiségű indulás/leállás. Beállítástól/használattól függően energiagazdálkodási okokból a Windows naponta több százszor is leállíthatja / felpörgetheti a merevlemezt, így ez előfordulhat. Önmagában még nem gond, de valóban, ettől esetleg elérheti a tervezett élettartam végét...

Re: "100% health" shown for a HDD with grown defects
Thanks for your message and attention. However, I can confirm that no, there is no problem/bug or similar here, things work correctly as should. The smartctl output is not really relevant. As you can see, Hard Disk Sentinel detects and reports the numbers you mentioned, the primary/grown defect list...

Re: How to interpret test results?
Personally I completely understand and agree with you - but I'm afraid this is "what we get" from the drive. Generally when the hardware self tests (short self test, extended self test) started, Hard Disk Sentinel has no "control" about how these tests run. The software can only ...

Re: Is the basic surface read test enough to detect any potential surface issues?
Yes, if the drive already contains data (filled at least once completely), then the Disk menu -> Surface test -> Read test would be perfect. I thought you may mean a new/empty/unused drive. On a drive with data, yes, I'd only recommend the Disk menu -> Surface test -> Read test. > Also, would you co...

Re: Is the basic surface read test enough to detect any potential surface issues?
The Disk menu -> Surface test -> Read test is a good start, but in many cases, it may be not "enough". For example with SSD or SMR hard disk drive (assuming that the drive is new/empty so generally unused) the drive may not actually reads the data sectors, but responds quickly from a look ...

Re: New hard drive - Information not yet available in Disk Information
Thanks for the images. Yes, the temperature and transfer speed seems absolutely correct and expected. Generally during intensive using (like a surface test) the temperature can increase with 20-25 Celsius as you can see. Yes, on hard disks, the slowly decreasing performance graph is also expected, a...

Re: New external SMR drive: second Read Test much slower than first
10 cm movement should cause no troubles especially if there was no read/write operation.
If the drive may dropped ("knock") to the table, then it could be a problem, but I suspect there should be no issue now.
Thanks so much for your kind words and support, really great honour

Re: New external SMR drive: second Read Test much slower than first
Yes, what you see is completely normal and expected situation. Generally when the drive was new, empty and you started the read test (even if sounds surprising) the drive did not read the data sectors: the drive has an internal look up table to "know" which sectors are empty (= all). So be...
Re: Self-Test
Thanks for the report. Yes, I see. In general, the short self tests / extended self tests work differently on SATA drives and NVMe SSDs, so the difference you see is probably "normal". On SATA drives, generally we can any time start / cancel the self test. But this is not true with NVMe SS...

Re: Estimated remaining lifetime i
83% Health is very good result for an SSD with
Power on time = 1,246 days
Lifetime writes = 24.50 TB
(as you wrote).
I'd plan/consider (not too urgent) replacement below 50% (when the text description turns to yellow) and would immediately replace below 25% (when the text description would be red).
