(I have extreme OCD, obviously considering the whole video recording part) I sometimes get worried that I installed the worst examples of it that infects drives and all that.
Did I likely do it? No, but I'm still curious whether there's a way to find out that information about an SSD before I begin my reinstallation of Windows and installation of KDE Neon on my laptop. Just to be sure.
I've taken a look at nvme-cli, but I'm having a hard time understanding this output on Ubuntu's pastebin that I got from running nvme-cli.

Mine shows with this:sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda, not a NVMe drive. If newer NVMe change sda to your drive like /dev/nvme0n1.
