I have the same problem with the Toshiba NVMe SSD in my Dell Inspiron 15 5584 (purchased August 2019).ย  Speccy v1.32.740 reports "S.M.A.R.T. not supported" (see my system snaphot at http://speccy.piriform.com/results/jsOPIebHMX08p7q8vLXeBhg) ...

... while the WMIC diskdrive get status command reports "Status OK"...

.. and CrystalDiskInfo v8.4.2 is able to display the SMART attributes and reports the status is "Good".

Same result for any NVMe

Speccy hasn't been updated since v1.32.740 was released on 20-May-2018, and the builds page at https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/builds only has a download link for the Standard installer.

On 20-Jul-2019 Avast / Piriform employee @Dave CCleaner posted in Speccy - No Updates Since May 2018 that "To confirm, updates to the client software for Defraggler, Speccy and Recuva are certainly planned. No committed dates at this point in time, but we're aiming for later this year."

On 22-Oct-2019 Dave CCleaner posted in Download Link for the Portable Version is Downloading the Setup Version that "We've got a couple of broken links as a result of moving recently to a new download server.ย  These will all be reestablished shortly."ย  That comment was posted in the Defraggler board (another utility that is missing the Slim and Portable builds at https://www.ccleaner.com/defraggler/builds) but at the time I was told that download links to the Slim and Portable builds for both Speccy and Defraggler would be re-posted on their respective builds pages "soon".

I would appreciate if someone from Avast / Piriform would provide a status update and let us know if Avast has any plans to support Speccy going forward and release another update that works correctly with modern hardware components.

NVMe will have a newer revision coming out possible in the next few months so Speccy will be even further outdated. But there's other tools freely available online.

Hi Andavari:

What would you suggest as a Speccy alternative?

I've shown <above> that CrystalDiskInfo is able to read the S.M.A.R.T. attributes of my NVMe SSD and I normally use Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FSRT) and/or Belarc Advisor Free for diagnosing problems on my own computer.

However, if I'm helping someone else troubleshoot a problem in a user forum and only need a basic diagnostic to show me their hardware components and installed software then Speccy is often a good choice because it's easy for a non-technical person to collect and publish a Speccy snapshot (File | Publish Snapshot) on the Piriform server at http: // speccy.piriform.com/results/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . Some forums don't allow users to attach .txt or .log files to their posts, while others only allow Forum Mods with escalated privileges to view attached files.ย  I can't ask users to publicly post a Belarc Advisor log because of the protected information (e.g., software product keys) it collects.

CrystalDiskInfo as you've already posted seems to be on top of things by gradually adding more drives, and is frequently updated and is often the most recommended or go to for drive information since it's simple, easy, small, and a keeper. Another that isn't just focused primarily on drives alone would be HWiNFO or HWiNFO Portable which is also frequently updated.

Well, glad I did a search before posting about the Speccy 'bug'.

For the record - new build with Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0, 1TB - no temp reporting (as all others have reported). Since this is my primary drive and is known to run hot, I need to monitor. I've installed the Sabrent dashboard, which is fine but only does Sabrent - obviously not good. Looks like I'll try out the other suggestions - many thanks to those who shared them.

Further to my July 2021 post, I just realized that CrystalDiskInfo is not displaying the Current / Worst / Threshold columns (i.e., shown as percentages from 100 to 0 %) for the S.M.A.R.T. attributes of my NVMe SDD.ย  I didn't realize that information was missing until I read a recent a CrystalDiskInfo review in Deanna McElveen's weekly "Best Utilities" column in the AskWoody Plus newsletter.ย  This newsletter is behind a paywall but Deanna McElveen has posted screenshots on her OlderGeeks.com website <here> that shows what the main interface should look like - at least for SATA HDDs. I've posted further details in the 15-Nov-2021 AskWoody.com discussion Freeware Spotlight โ€“ CrystalDiskInfo (where I also post as user lmacri), and as I noted in post # 2401622, my best guess right now is that CrystalDiskInfo can't display the Current / Worst / Threshold columns for my S.M.A.R.T. attributes because I have an Intel Chipset PCIe/SATA RST Premium Controller (which is not on CrystalDIskInfo's list <here> of supported controllers).

I also found a 13-Nov-2021 post <here> by HWiNFO developer Martin Malik that states:

Quote

โ€œNVMe drives donโ€™t report attributes like ATA drives do via SMART, moreover many SMART attributes are not standardized. Some tools create โ€œfakeโ€ SMART values from NVMe status so that it looks as if NVMe would report the same sort of SMART attributes.โ€œ

HWiNFO only shows a short list of S.M.A.R.T. attributes with a Yes/No status for my NVMe SSD (see image below) so that makes me suspect that data for many of the S.M.A.R.T. attributes for NVMe SSDs in some hardware diagnostic utilities could be inaccurate.

Then I'd recommend if available download the official SSD toolbox from the SSD manufacturer, oddities that some tools list shouldn't be an issue with the added bonus of being able to get firmware updates.

Big major manufacturers such as Toshiba (now Kioxia) would likely have an SSD toolbox. I know for sure ADATA/XPG (same company and brand), Crucial/Micron (same company and brand), Samsung, SanDisk/Western Digital ("WD") (same company and brand) all have an SSD toolbox, as well as some other brand name drive manufacturers.

Hi Andavari:

KIOXIA offers a SSD management utility at https://personal.kioxia.com/en-emea/software/ssd-utility.html for their EXCERIA line of personal SSD products, but my Inspiron 5584 shipped with a Toshiba/KIOXIA KBG40ZNS256G NVME SSD, which is part of their BG4 line of client SSDs.

As far as I know, firmware updates for Toshiba/KIOXIA clients SSDs like the BG4s are not available for download from the KIOXIA site (instead, they are sent directly to computer manufacturers like Dell, and after certification they are posted on the Dell support page <here> for my Inspiron 5584). I also don't know of any SSD management utility for their BG4 line of client SSDs that is available to the general public.ย  I submitted a support request today to KIOXIA at https://www.kioxia.com/en-emea/contact.html just to confirm and will post back if that information is wrong.

User following this thread might be interested in reading Ben Meyer's 07-Feb-2022 article Our World is Not Very S.M.A.R.T. About SSDs in this week's AskWoody free (and paid) newsletter, which focuses on a utility called Clear Disk Info.ย  My 30-Dec-2021 post # 2409451 in response to one of Ben's older newsletter articles on this topic compares my Clear Disk Info diagnostic report to those from other utilities like HWiNFO (see my HWiNFO image <above>), CrystalDiskInfo and Speccy but many of the images I attached in that Dec 2021 thread can't be viewed unless you log in to the AskWoody forum, so here's a re-post of my Clear Disk Info image.ย  One nice feature of the Clear Disk Info user interface is that it has a Description column that describes each S.M.A.R.T. attribute shown in the report.

Hi Andavari:

Further to my 23-Nov-2021 post <above>ย  KOXIA EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) customer service eventually responded but told me that they could not provide assistance to customers outside their region and asked me to contact the KOXIA USA/Americas customer service at https://www.kioxia.com/en-us/contact.html. Unfortunately, the customer support from the KOXIA USA/Americas division ignored my support request, and I can't find any SSD utilities on their USA/Americas support site at https://business.kioxia.com/en-us/ssd/support.html, let alone a utility that's compatible with my BG4 series model KBG40ZNS256G client SSD.
