I just compared the output of sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 on my newer 
desktop with the SATA SSD boot drive in my Mythtv backend. Different 
responses. The nvme shows:

SMART/Health Information (NVMe Log 0x02)
Critical Warning:                   0x00
Temperature:                        35 Celsius
Available Spare:                    100%
Available Spare Threshold:          10%

Power On Hours:                     893
Unsafe Shutdowns:                   33

However, the older SATA SSD show far less:

Just what you get from smartctl -i  None of the DUR/DUW and percentage 
used. On the backend I have smarttools running test regularly and I get 
output from those test, but no life data.
