Feature suggestions
nvme-cli: (https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli) i found this tool a few days ago when i was trying to troubleshoot some issues with Samsung enterprise drives. there is a boatload of features that i would definitely use on a storage server. i was able to use this tool to successfully get detailed smart data and error logs from the controller/firmware of the NVME drive its self not to mention OEM wipe, firmware, and reset commands are natively supported.

Determining NAND Writes on NVME devices on Linux
nvme (1) in Linux does support vendor specific plugins and as of version 1.16, here are the list of vendors who have supplied them (note that there are additional vendors in the latest nvme-cli package https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli.git, but I'm using the Ubuntu-installed version here):

SSD wipe before selling - what about overprovisioning? Best practices?
Otherwise, if you have access to a Linux box or a bootable Linux USB stick, you can use the nvme-cli tool to send the equivalent command (use nvme list to list all drives, then nvme format -s1 /dev/drive to erase the drive, where /dev/drive is the block name of the device). I have not tested this method personally to see if it leaves any recoverable data, though it is supposed to be equivalent to Secure Erase.

SSD Sequential Write Slowdowns
Secure erase is generally incredibly fast. (We are actually just doing an "nvme format", which isn't guaranteed secure. There are options you can pass to it to make it secure, and in my experience don't change the time taken substantially. The nvme-cli program that does this is actually only available on linux. It's on my list to do to see how the options on windows translate to those available on linux.)

Samsung SSD SMART 0E issue
As a linux user, I plan to see if nvme-cli (https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli) sanitize feature works. Otherwise I'll just claim this as a total lost and make sure that's my last spend on Samsung SSD products, unless other vendors are equally terrible at their custom services.

Are HDDs REALLY better than SSDs for long term bulk storage?
Most advanced SMARTmonTools or if you on windows and prefer GUI, then there is wrapper GSmartControl

Why is one 44% good and one 80% caution?
Edit: Looking at this answer again, and the threshold column may also be obtuse and unhelpful. I haven't used it before, but GSmartControl looks like a much better tool for inspecting S.M.A.R.T. status on Windows.

Scanning and repairing drive (C:)
If you want to check the state of your hard drive, grab a tiny program to check the S.M.A.R.T. table, you're looking most importantly for "Reallocated Sectors", and "Pending Reallocation Events", as well as any Errors reported/recorded. Bad sectors are the most common sign a drive is failing. https://gsmartcontrol.shaduri.dev/

PC restarted just after boot
For Storage Drives You can use some of Windows tools but it’s more for checking for corrupt files and repairing them 1. Using built in Windows Utilities. You can open Command Prompt or Powershell as Administrator and you can run a few commmands to make sure everything (software wise) is okay. Use sfc /scannow to run what’s called System File Checker. This will check the Windows component store for corruption and repair any it finds. When finished you should see a message like “Windows did not find any integrity violations” which means no corruption was found. You can also use chkdsk C: however this is basically a torture test for your drive. If your drive is showing early signs of faliure, do not run chkdsk on it. It will only accelerate its eventual complete failure. 2. Using external tools. A very helpful tool to use would be Crystal Disk Info. This will check the SMART status of all connected drives and make sure all are okay. You can run SMART tests for your drives by using either GSmartControl or SeaTools.

I have several external hard drives and a brand-new one. How do I know which to replace? Should I always assume oldest = likeliest to fail? Longest time to start up? Loudest?
There are many tools to get this data; I recommend GSmartControl.

PS3 stuck at restoring
The issue is that files became corrupted, resulting in it needing to check the file system. If you have a hard drive enclosure, I would recommend using the enclosure to connect the drive to a computer, and running a drive diagnostic utility. GSmartControl is a great free program for checking the drive for physical damage. HDDScan can show you where there are bad sectors on the drive. If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s worth looking at Hard Disk Sentinel, because it allows you to attempt repairs and resolve any issues you have with hard drives.

HDD issue (I think)
But what I would do first is run GSmartControl to check the SMART info of the drive to see if the disk itself is toast. If it's the disk that is broken, send it to data recovery professionals or buy another 3 TB drive and use ddrescue to copy the drive over to the new one and cross your fingers.

HDD problems after tripping power breaker. Ran Diskpart Clean which failed to complete and now I can't reinitialize "because of an I/O device error"
Have you checked the SMART stats? It might be stuck trying to reallocate sectors as well. There are quite a few options for reading SMART stats, I usually just run GSMARTControl for Windows. https://gsmartcontrol.shaduri.dev/
