Sure but that doesn't apply to the whole machine. What HP is proposing is SMART data for much more than just the storage device. The only thing that would make this better is if the data can be stored in NV flash on the motherboard rather than a vendor-reserved sector on the SSD. This way failed drives can be replaced while preserving the data.
