Hi Michael,

For plain SATA drives atactl is fine. It can also pass SMART commands
to most USB drives that attach as sdX.

```

Kind regards

I was lucky - in my case, atactl is apparently sufficient for the basics. Not so lucky, but also no surprise, is the result of the self-test: I will overwrite the disk with zeros once as a test. According to the S.M.A.R.T. values, the number of "pending" sectors has already decreased - from 18 to 15.
