For whatever it's worth, they're not all identical.

That is exactly my point! Supposedly the first thirteen are supposed to be identical according to the SMART Alliance, but the manufacturers tend to go their own way. Personally the attributes I look for are:
  1. Hard Drives & SATA attached SSDs
    1. Raw. Read Error Rate
    2. Spin Up Time
    3. Reallocated Sector Count
    4. Seek Error Rate
  2. NVMe
    1. % Available Spares
    2. % Used
    3. % Remaining
    4. Any YES answer to the other items means the drive isn't failing, it has failed.
  3. What I would like to have and what I get are NOT always (seldom?) the same thing 🤷‍♂️
