SMART-infos?

Hi,
the SMART status in the info-center (detailed information: Devices, then select
'smart status' just shows the text
"this device appears to be working as expected"
There is a link to the partition manager, i follow this, select a device and go
to 'smart status' of the device which will produce a popup with just a minor
amount of smart infos (10 items, to be exact)
Important details like power cycles are zero (?) and 'powered on' is zero as
well?
(tested on two nvme drives)
This is in stark contrast to the information output by 'smartctl' for those
aforementioned devices.
so far for the bugreport, now on to the improvements:
Just a question: whoever came up with the output idea saying (info-center):
"this device appears to be working as expected"
Are we Windows-like now? We can surely do better, we have all the specific
details to make this single output line waaay better. Or, if this is really
meant to be this 'short', we should improve the smart details of kde partition
manager.
I know, there is is gnome-disks able to display (and interpret) the smart data,
why not using this? (yep, true, but when we have plasma apps, shouldn't they be
similar to other tools in information detail, especially when options like
'smart details' exist?)
Or, i just stick to the commandline toolset (smartctl). This is fine for me, it
also means less clickedy-click.
But, i think we should offer more choice and more data to the users of plasma
tools.
Your opinion?
