Speed test with temperature overlay

测速 + 温度叠加

CrystalDiskMark-style read/write bars, plus a temperature track recorded during the run — so it can tell you whether a slowdown is SLC cache or thermal throttling. No pure speed tool does this. A dashed line marks the interface's theoretical ceiling.

CrystalDiskMark 风格读写条状图,测速时同步记录温度叠加成曲线——能告诉你掉速是 SLC 缓存还是过热降频。纯测速工具做不到。虚线标出接口理论上限作对比。

Full SMART detail

完整 SMART 属性

Every NVMe health-log field — wear, spare, media errors, unsafe shutdowns — grouped into pre-fail vs life-span. No fabricated columns.

NVMe 健康日志的每个字段——磨损、备用块、介质错误、非正常关机——按故障预警/寿命计数分组,不造假数据。

Honest about the limits

坦白说清局限

Many USB-SATA enclosures and external HDDs can't expose SMART on macOS at all — Apple's user-space SCSI stack blocks the pass-through, and no app can fix that without a kernel extension (which on Apple Silicon means disabling security features). NVMeter tells you this plainly on the device card instead of pretending, still shows capacity and connection info, and reads Thunderbolt enclosures perfectly — they bypass the problem entirely.

很多 USB-SATA 硬盘盒和外置机械盘在 macOS 上根本无法读取 SMART——Apple 的用户态 SCSI 栈阻止了透传,任何应用都无法在不装内核扩展(Apple 芯片上意味着关闭安全特性)的情况下解决。NVMeter 在设备卡片上直接说明,不装样子;容量与连接信息照常显示。雷电硬盘盒完全不受影响,读取完美。
