Hi there!
Good news for all interested in hardware compatibility and reliability.
I've started a new project to estimate reliability of hard drives and SSD in real-life conditions based on the SMART data reports collected by Linux users in the Linux-Hardware.org database since 2014. The initial data (SMART reports), analysis methods and results are publicly shared in a new github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART. Everyone can contribute to the report by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool!
The primary aim of the project is to find drives with longest "power on hours" and minimal number of errors. The following formula is used to measure reliability: Power_On_Hours / (1 + Number_Of_Errors), i.e. time to the first error/between errors.
Please be careful when reading the results table. Pay attention not only to the rating, but also to the number of checked model samples. If rating is low, then look at the number of power-on days and number of errors occurred. New drive models will appear at the end of the rating table and will move to the top in the case of long error-free operation.
Thanks to ROSA, openSUSE, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Arch, Fedora users and others who had made this work possible by contribution to the database!

Where do we get that tool from? It is not available at openSUSE:
https://software.opensuse.org/search?p=1&baseproject=openSUSE:Leap:42.3&q=hw-probe

You can get the source and use it with the following:
git clone http://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe cd hw-probe sudo make install prefix=/usr sudo hw-probe -all -upload -id <description>
If you want to see what goes into the database, look at https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=550460aaac
Is this a package we should make available for openSUSE users?

If you want to populate the database with many entries, yes :-)
And also announce it on a more visible mail list, too.

Hi,
I've just created a package by OBS that can be installed by:
sudo zypper addrepo -G -f obs://home:linuxbuild/openSUSE_Factory hw-probe sudo zypper install hw-probe
The command to replenish the database:
sudo hw-probe -all -upload
AppImage is also available to run without installing: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#appimage
OBS project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:linuxbuild/hw-probe
Thank you.
