I just received a new USB enclosure here that is not detected by smartctl: $ sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdb smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.8.0-2-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org
/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x174c:0x1351 (0x100)] Please specify device type with the -d option. Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary The device is a Vantec NexStar 3.1 I got on Newegg: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392087 There it is called the lovely "VANTEC NST-270A31-BK Aluminum / Plastic 2.5" Black Standard SATA Micro B 2.5” SATA 6 Gb/s to USB 3.1 Gen II Type-A SSD/HDD Enclosure". lsusb tells me it is a: Bus 002 Device 008: ID 174c:1351 ASMedia Technology Inc. It *seems* to work with `-d sat`, and I could complete a self-test properly, so presumably this is just a matter of adding the USB IDs in there. Attached is the -x report for the drive ran on Debian GNU/Linux 9-alpha8 with: $ sudo smartctl -q noserial -d sat -x /dev/sdb Cheers, A. - L'adversaire d'une vraie liberté est un désir excessif de sécurité. - Jean de la Fontaine
