SSD gui?

[vsreeser]

Looking to find out if there is a GUI similiar to samsung magician for linux. It lets me see a lot of stats on the drive. Not so much concerned with using it to set things, although that would be ok too

I don't know what Magician does, but smartmon tools will show you stats about drives.

Edit: not a GUI, and not sure if there is one for smartmon.

The closest thing I've seen is gnome-disk-utility. I does pull in some GTK stuff obviously, but not much. It does do bench-marking but only of unmounted drives.

Downloaded the file. Will have to read the command line reference and let everyone know how it works

Interesting program, but it doesn't have a GUI...

And I have an 840evo. Well, on with the search

Why not try the gui apps mentioned by oshunlvr (smartmon tools (gui front end for that = GSmartControl) and gnome-disk-utility)? They look to present much the same info as the Samsung app. I have both installed and find them invaluable for checking hard drive status and testing.
