Why Can’t I Find My Disk with smartctl?

Asked By TechTurtle92 On

I had a system crash yesterday and encountered some problems after that. I was advised to check for disk corruption using smartctl, so I downloaded it. However, when I attempted to run commands with /dev/sda, it didn't work, and it only detected /dev/nvme0. I'm currently using Ubuntu 24.04.3 and I'm a bit confused about the whole situation. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Try running the command `lsblk` to see how your disks are being identified on the system. It should display a list of all connected devices, and you might find your disk listed there under a different name.

I ran `lsblk` and it showed just nvme0n1 as the disk connected. So, I guess that means there's no issue with the listing, right?
