Use the smartmontools tool to view the cumulative read and write volume of the solid state drive

smartctl -a /dev/sda


A large amount of information will be displayed here. You can use the grep tool to filter out the required information.

smartctl -x /dev/sda | grep "Read|Written"


There may be many outputs for this sentence, the first one is the most intuitive:

# smartctl -x /dev/sda | grep "Read|Written"
Data Units Read:                    9,076 [4.64 GB]
Data Units Written:                 60,090 [30.7 GB]
Host Read Commands:                 169,586


There is another method that needs to be calculated:

# smartctl -x /dev/sda | grep "Read|Written"
241 Total_LBAs_Written      -O--CK   100   100   000    -    441689956
242 Total_LBAs_Read         -O--CK   100   100   000    -    880047510
0x01  0x018  6       441689956  -D-  Logical Sectors Written
0x01  0x028  6       880047510  -D-  Logical Sectors Read
0x01  0x030  6        30038299  -D-  Number of Read Commands


The unit of Total_LBAs_Written is LBAS=512Byte, so to convert it to GB, you can use the following formula: Total_LBAs_Written * 512 / 1024^3.
Calculated here, the cumulative write volume is approximately 210GB.
