SMART data from USB drives
It seems Everest can't get the SMART data from USB drives. Can anything do
it? Thanks. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word.

It looks powerful, but after playing with the options for a while I can't get it to see the USB device. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word.

You need to remove the drive and connect it via ATA or SATA, depending on the drive interface. Arno

Wotanidjut. It depends on what USB bridge and what USB driver. All kinds of data/commands can be sent over USB. The problem is the program interface in the host and the firmware interface in the devices to get the necessary commands to the drive and data from the drive. If these aren't in place then you're ****ed. You need to remove the drive and connect it via ATA or SATA, depending on the drive interface. No, really? Arno

I would take this simple route, but the case is designed not to be opened. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word.
