Untuk mengetahui usia hardisk, dan type Hardisk di Linux memiliki tools yang bernama smartmontools. Bila belum terinstall di sistem anda, install dengan cara
Fedora
su -c "yum install smartmontools -y"
Debian/Ubuntu
su -c "apt-get install smartmontools -y"
Setelah selesai instalasi, terlebih dahulu cek letak hardisk
su -c "fdisk -l"
sebagai contoh di tempat saya yang muncul seperti dibawah ini
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/fedora_dhcppc8-root 50G 17G 31G 36% / devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 14M 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 856K 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 1.9G 181M 1.8G 10% /tmp /dev/sda2 90G 23G 67G 26% /media/sda2 /dev/sda1 100M 25M 76M 25% /media/sda1 /dev/sda3 196G 112G 84G 58% /media/sda3 /dev/sda5 477M 170M 278M 38% /boot /dev/mapper/fedora_dhcppc8-home 125G 67G 52G 57% /home /dev/sdb1 15G 682M 14G 5% /run/media/tommy/6913-6900
hardisk yang saya gunakan berarti berda di /dev/sda, variasi lainnya bisa /dev/hda. Untuk /dev/sdb1 itu adalah flashdisk, tergantung slot yang tersedia, bisa juga /dev/sdc1. Letak hardisk telah diketahui jalankan perintah smartctl
smartctl --all /dev/sda
hasil perintah diatas kurang lebih seperti dibawah ini

Dari hasil diatas kita bisa melihat berapa lama hardisk tersebut sudah berputar (lifetime), tipe, jenis hardisk, ukuran hardisk dan lain sebagainya.
