Default Read HDD SMART when in external USB tray possible?

Hello! I wonder if there is any program able to read the S.M.A.R.T. values
of a hardisk that is in an external USB tray. Has anybody tried something
like that?

DiskCheckup by PassMark Software that I use for internal disks cannot even
see the disk. But the disk shows up fine on windows xp device manager as a
USB hard disk.

Thanks in advance for any help

Kostas

Any program can do that *after* someone comes up with a S.M.A.R.T. driver
that hooks up with the USB storage driver.

Has anybody tried something like that?

Probably because they use the standard IDE smartvsd driver.

But the disk shows up fine on windows xp device manager as a USB hard disk.

Thanks in advance for any help
