    [SOLVED] hard disk health tool

    Someone in this forum (I think) once recommended a program which checks hard disks to see how healthy they are physically. It tells you how many sectors are bad and how long your disk will last (approximately). I installed this in 20.04 and it stayed when I upgraded to 20.10, but as I installed 21.04 fresh, I lost this program and can't for the life of me remember its name. Can anyone help me?
