Select a specific drive connected to the system and get the S.M.A.R.T information.
For example, if --disk X is specified, where X is the physical disk index, it lists down the SMART attributes of the disk X connected to
HOST system.
Also it is used to log temperature of the disk and estimate its life time.

※

Note: Default folder location is /usr/local/Magician/SMARTFiles/. Temperature will be logged into a file “Log_Temperature.
txt” in default location if no valid file path is provided.
To estimate the lifetime of the SSD, first --analyzer should be run with --start and then with --stop subcommand. If “Wear
Leveling Count” of the SSD is the same when executing “--start” and “--stop” subcommands, then the lifetime will be
displayed as infinite.
