GSmartControl, alternative Linux à CrystalDiskInfo
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
GSmartControl is a solid replacement for CrystalDiskInfo on Linux. It reads SMART attributes, reports overall health, shows temperature and power‑on hours, and supports NVMe, SATA, SCSI, and USB drives. Users who need a GUI similar to CrystalDiskInfo and who also want advanced options like self‑tests and data export will find it useful. It is not a direct drop‑in for Windows users who rely on the Windows‑only interface, but it covers the core monitoring functions.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- Both read SMART attributes and display health status
- Both show temperature and power‑on hours
- Both support NVMe drives
- Both can monitor multiple drives at once
Ce qui change
- GSmartControl is a GUI for smartctl, not a standalone tool like CrystalDiskInfo
- It lacks Windows‑style notifications for critical issues (no pop‑ups)
- It does not export data to CrystalDiskInfo’s proprietary log format
- It requires smartctl to be installed separately
- It does not have a built‑in Windows‑style tray icon
- It does not provide a simple one‑click health check like CrystalDiskInfo

CrystalDiskInfo stores logs in a proprietary binary format that GSmartControl cannot read. To migrate, export the data from CrystalDiskInfo as a CSV or text log and then import that file into GSmartControl using the "Load SMART data" feature. If you only need the current status, simply run GSmartControl and it will read the drives directly.
Passer de CrystalDiskInfo à GSmartControl, étape par étape
- Install smartctl on your Linux distro (e.g., sudo apt install smartmontools).
- Download and install GSmartControl from your distribution’s repository or from its website.
- Run GSmartControl and let it detect your drives automatically.
- If you have existing logs, export them from CrystalDiskInfo as CSV and load them in GSmartControl via File → Load SMART data.
- Set up a cron job or systemd timer to run smartctl self‑tests if desired.
- Configure desktop notifications (e.g., via libnotify) to mimic CrystalDiskInfo alerts.

Does GSmartControl support NVMe drives?
Yes, it can read SMART data from NVMe devices using smartctl’s NVMe support.
Can I get real‑time notifications when a drive fails?
GSmartControl itself does not provide pop‑up alerts, but you can use smartd or systemd‑path units to trigger notifications based on smartctl output.
Is GSmartControl open source?
Yes, it is released under the GPL‑2.0 license and is actively maintained in major Linux distributions.
