   I don't usually use Gnome/shell, so I'll look at it to navigate.  The   
   one I have handy nearby is the live 22.04.3.  From the desktop I click   
   Activities and use Disks in the search which brings up an app named   
   Disks. In its L pane I select my target disk, and at the top of the R   
   pane is an abbreviated 'hamburger' icon in the form of 3 dots vertical.   
   If I click that, one of the items in the menu is SMART Data and   
   self-tests.  L = left R = right.

   Smart has more/ different info.  Each tool has its value.
