Hi,
after having failed to access SMART info via USB connection,
I now activated my recently purchased
SITECOM eSATA Cardbus Card CB-040 v1 001
07:00.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3512
[SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
and was successfully able to read SMART attributes of TS32GSSD18M-M via eSATA.
Yay :)

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?64200-SMART-research-So-how-long-will-your-SSD-really-last
(judging from this I had less than 10% use of average erase count when
semi-compared to max cycles [10000?])
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices
(updated existing entry to add eSATA)
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/ticket/80 (some older Transcend
entry extension ticket)
The fact that the only two internet resources I visited
indicate ECC_Fail_Record to be zero
yet it ain't so in my case might point at some issues though :(
But I had experienced USB data corruption [DATA LOSS!] issues on reboot
(perhaps improper USB timeouts or flushing in kernel?? Or SSD firmware
issue......),
so it's quite likely that these errors happened during a flush while power gone.
Thus, I'd desire for something like this to be added:

Extend JMF60x regex to include support for Transcend TS32GSSD18M-M
SMART access via eSATA connection only - USB status is murky.
And fix spelling on the go.

While this patch seriously extends the existing ID / firmware regexes
(thereby decreasing match precision of these entries),
I preferred that to having a separate entry for this differently-named SSD
added,
since SMART attributes seem fully compatible so it *should* be grouped
together after all...
Values (content) of SMART attributes below, despite grabbed from different-model
specs, seem plausible (except for temperature and hours, as also noted by
drivedb.h
entry already).
