I did but I still do not understand exactly what you are suggesting...
This is what I read:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-check-an-hard-drive-health-from-the-command-line-using-smartctl

After first installing smartmontools (it was not on my system, by default):

$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1p5

What can be gleaned from this?
No Errors at least....

So by suggestion from the page I found:

sudo smartctl -t short /dev/nvme0n1p5
smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.4.0-113-generic] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org
NVMe device successfully opened
Use 'smartctl -a' (or '-x') to print SMART (and more) information


Here the output grossly deviates from what is shown on the page I am reading...

It is supposed to output a timeout until I can view the test result, but what I
show above is all I am getting.

So I am none the wiser....
