How can I check how many hours a drive has been used for? I looked in Drive Utility but I didn't see it in the smart data. Is there a better way or program for this? Thanks

smartctl -A <device>
as root from the command line will show you SMART parameter 9, "Power_On_Hours", if the drive supports it.

sudo apt-get install smartmontools
