Error Cases
SMART Information
Disk Information
Note: JSON decoding error occurred, returns empty Python list [].
Notes
- This output is from a Microsoft Virtual Machine environment running Linux
- Recommendation: It's preferable to use Python Objects instead of JSON format in newer versions of the HardView library to avoid these parsing errors
Generated from HardView library JSON function test results on Linux
