I am using Ubuntu Mate 16.04. I bought an nvme ssd (Intel 600p) and am no longer able to view SMART data through gnome-disk-utility.

I was able to see SMART using my old SATA ssd through this dropdown menu:

enter image description here

With the NVME ssd, the menu option doesn't exist. I can still view SMART data for the NVME ssd using

sudo smartctl --all /dev/nvme

Why can't I also view it in gnome-disk-utility?

This is a known issue in the underlying udisks program used by gnome-disk-utility. There already exists an issue on the GitLab page https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility/issues/50 and upstream on the udisks issue tracker https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/386

Update on July 4th 2024:
The udisks issue was fixed on May 3rd 2022 but unfortunately, a new API is used and gnome-disk-utility can still not read the nvme data udisks now provides.

This worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04 to get more or less the same data

sudo nvme list
sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0

First, make sure that you have the latest firmware installed in the Intel 600P. Go to these web sites for the downloads...

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/memory-and-storage/000017245.html

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/94922/Intel-SSD-600p-Series

In the Disks utility, make sure that you select the SSD in the left pane, then go to the "hamburger" icon and select SMART Data & Tests. That should get you where you want to go.

You might install gsmartcontrol and see if that sees the SSD SMART.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gsmartcontrol
