* SATA SSD which support a wear level indicator will have the `without error` changed to `passed` to make room for the indicator. This is a life expectancy expressed as a percentage that starts at 100% and decreases towards 0%.

#### PASSED or FAILED

When a SATA device test result is not found (either not supported, not performed, log purged, etc) then the `smartctl` self assessment status will be displayed which should be a simple `PASSED` or `FAILED!` value. It is still possible to show `PASSED` and have device issues. This is **not** an equivalent of `without error`.
When a SATA device test result is not found (either not supported, not performed, log purged, etc) then the `smartctl` self assessment status will be displayed which should be a simple `PASSED` or `FAILED!` value. It is still possible to show `PASSED` (uppercase) and have device issues. This is **not** an equivalent of `without error`. This is expected with a new device that has not been tested yet, or an initial install where the scheduled test(s) have not run yet.

NVMe device will use the *nvme-cli* to fetch error information from the device. If the last test, a result of zero is `passed` and a non-zero is `error`. An error indicates you need to investigate the device, start with something like `sudo nvme error-log -e 1 /dev/nvme0n1` to return the last error log entry.
