Not going to wear it out but going to make sure it survived the trip across the country while bouncing around in the box. :/ Check this out: Aug 8 12:46:47 localhost smartd[2083]: Device: /dev/sdd, type changed from 'scsi' to 'sat' Aug 8 12:46:47 localhost smartd[2083]: Device: /dev/sdd [SAT], opened Aug 8 12:46:47 localhost smartd[2083]: Device: /dev/sdd [SAT], ST3000DM001-9YN166, S/N:Z1F0PKT5, WWN:5-000c50-04d79e15c, FW:CC4C, 3.00 TB Aug 8 12:46:47 localhost smartd[2083]: Device: /dev/sdd [SAT], not found in smartd database.
