As a matter of fact, I did get them on Ebay. They are not perfect, I
found them to be pretty finicky about being pushed in tightly, but
once they started working without flaw.
How do I know that the SMART data is getting through? Well because HD
Sentinel displays them, quite simply. HDS always polls that data, it's
not saved data.
