I am looking for a tool that is able to show the expected lifetime of a disk. Btw, I do know a disk can stop working, even if the expected lifetime is 3 years or so.
Thank you.

Just be advised that it's totally arbitrary value written in disk's firmware and based on time used . health etc. Mostly used by manufacturer to determine warranty.
I have few HDDs that are way past that value and they are still perfect.
