GSmartControl como alternativa Linux ao CrystalDiskInfo

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

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.

O que funciona igual

  • 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

O que muda

  • 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

Abrindo seus arquivos do 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.

Trocando o CrystalDiskInfo pelo GSmartControl, passo a passo

  1. Install smartctl on your Linux distro (e.g., sudo apt install smartmontools).
  2. Download and install GSmartControl from your distribution’s repository or from its website.
  3. Run GSmartControl and let it detect your drives automatically.
  4. If you have existing logs, export them from CrystalDiskInfo as CSV and load them in GSmartControl via File → Load SMART data.
  5. Set up a cron job or systemd timer to run smartctl self‑tests if desired.
  6. Configure desktop notifications (e.g., via libnotify) to mimic CrystalDiskInfo alerts.
