This device is in the current drivedb.h. Please run /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb. If this is a WD "My Passport Essential SE" or "Elements SE" USB device, its USB ID is also included. The -d sat is no longer be needed then. > How to add the device to the database manually in my machine? Not needed for this device. If desired, you can add local entries via /etc/smart_drivedb.h, see -B option on smartctl man page. > Will hddtemp be able to find temperature of this hard disk once it is > added to the database? No, hddtemp and smartmontools are unrelated. SAT (SCSI/ATA translation) is required here, hddtemp may or may not support it.
