Several methods to check Macbook M2 SSD
Method 1: Use Disk Utility
The first method to check the hard drive status on Macbook involves using Disk Utility. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Press the Command + SpaceBar combination to open the search bar. Then, type Disk Utility.
Step 2: Double-click on Disk Utility - Utilities.
Step 3: Select the SSD drive on the left sidebar, then find the S.M.A.R.T status line below.
If this entry shows Verified, your SSD is operating normally. If it's Failing, your SSD is facing some issues. If it's Fatal, back up your data immediately as the SSD may fail at any time. In the case of the drive's S.M.A.R.T status showing Not Supported, your drive doesn't support displaying this information, and you need an alternative method to check the details.
Method 2: Use DriveDx
DriveDx is a paid tool with the functionality to monitor hard drive parameters and alert you to any issues. Targeted at professionals and large-scale users, DriveDx comes with a higher cost. However, you can still use the trial version with all the features of the paid version.
