Support NVME ssd devices better and read Model / Smart values
Submitted by boscowitch
Link to original bug (#778906)
Description
The version specified fails to show the "Model" field and disables SMART options in the menue. (only serialnumber is read correctly)
However it is possible to read those values as smartmontools can read all the infomation from Model to all the SMART values.
And it would be nice to show the most important value
TBW/DUW (total bytes written or data units written) in the main UI since it is the most important information together with temperature for a quick health estimate.
here is an example of the smartmonoutput for a samsung 950 nvme sdd:
