On SSD the most important is wear out and usage data. It may, from one side, indicate that drive needs to be replaces soon and from other - if you see that wear out is too fast - optimise your software/os to prevent that.

    - The docker image used for CI and release builds is now based on
      Debian 12 instead of Ubuntu 18.04.
    - macOS: CI and release builds are now generated for the x86_64 and arm64
      targets. 32 bit platforms will require to be compiled from the source.
    - smartctl '-t short', '-t long' and '-X': NVMe support.
    - smartctl '-l selftest': NVMe support.
    - smartctl '-l farm': Prints Seagate's vendor-specific Field Access
      Reliability Metrics (FARM) log for ATA and SCSI drives.
    - smartctl '-l error': Now also prints an error message for each entry
      of NVMe error information log.
    - smartctl '-l genstats': Prints SCSI General statistics and performance
      log page.
    - smartctl '-i' and '--identify': ACS-4/5/6 enhancements.
    - smartctl '-c': Added NVMe 2.0 capability flags.
    - smartctl '-g security': Added 'ata_security.master_password_id'
      to JSON output.  Plaintext output shows Master Password ID if set
      to a non-default value.
    - smartctl '-q noserial': Now also suppresses the output of NVMe Namespace
      IEEE EUI-64.
    - smartctl '-j': '-l error -l selftest' JSON output for NVMe devices.
    - smartctl '-j': Avoid invalid UTF-8 sequences in JSON/YAML strings.
    - smartctl '-j': Fixed a bogus exception during SCSI JSON output.
    - smartctl '-j': Renamed JSON element 'scsi_temperature' back to
      'temperature' (regression).
    - smartctl '-a': Now suggests '-x' for ATA devices because '-a' only
      provides legacy SMART information.
    - smartd: Now detects accidental use of smartd_warning script as
      '-M exec' parameter.
    - smartd: No longer writes the 'Copyright...' line to syslog.
    - smartd.conf '-M always': Sends reminder emails without any delay.
    - smartd.conf '-M diminishing': Limited email delay to 32 days.
    - ATA: Fixed decoding of extended self-test log on big endian hosts.
    - ATA: Enhanced LBA range for device types '-d jmb39x-q,...' and
      '-d jms56x,...' from 33-62 to 1-255.
    - ATA: Device type '-d intelliprop,N' now fails with a deprecation message.
      Added '-d intelliprop,N,force' flag to use it anyway.
    - ATA/USB: Device type '-d usbasm1352r,N' for ASMedia ASM1352R USB to SATA
      RAID bridges
    - SCSI: Fixed possible corruption issue with the Error Counter and
      Non medium Error log pages.
    - SCSI: Added more "Informational Exceptions" strings.
    - SCSI: Added initial support for REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION command.
    - SCSI: Initial rework of SCSI debug output.
    - NVMe: Added error messages for NVMe status values.
    - NVMe: Fixed crash after read of error information log on big endian hosts.
    - HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
    - update-smart-drivedb: Fixed syntax for 'sed' versions which require
      ';' before '}' or do not support ';' at all.
    - configure: Default for '--with-nvme-devicescan' is now 'yes' also on
      Darwin and FreeBSD.  It is still 'no' on NetBSD only.
    - configure: Defines '_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3' if supported and not predefined.
    - configure: No longer fails if libsystemd-dev is installed and
      'LDFLAGS=-static' is used.
    - Compile fix for systems without legacy 'getdtablesize()'.
    - Pre-releases from SVN snapshots now show "pre-VERSION" in version
      information and 'smartctl.pre_release=true' in JSON output.
    - Linux: Device type '-d sssraid' for 3SNIC RAID controllers.
    - Linux: Device type '-d marvell' now fails with a deprecation message.
      Added '-d marvell,force' flag to use it anyway.
    - Linux: The generic SCSI code now defaults to SG_IO_V3 and does no
      longer fall back to the deprecated SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
      (but this ioctl is still used for '-d 3ware' and '-d marvell,force').
    - Linux smartd: Now prevents systemd unit startup timeout when many
      devices are registered and then initially checked.
    - Linux smartd: Systemd no longer reports a service failure if no device
      is present and a '-q *nodev0*' option is used.
    - Windows: IOCTL_STORAGE_PROTOCOL_COMMAND variant for NVMe self-tests.
    - Windows: Installer now defaults to 64-bit executables.
