I don't have pfsense running on real hardware but

camcontrol identify disk (like ada0 or whatever your disk is)

ptt

Maybe with….. "Diagnostics --> SMART Status --> Info --> View" ;D

ega

I´ve got it in my pfsense as ptt says

diagnostics –> smart status -->select option "info", device "ada0" pres "View" and brings me this info:

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

U must have SMART compatibility, support or capabilities (excuse me, don´t remember the specific term) enabled on BIOS.
