That actually depends on the case the drive is in being capable of passing the SMART data, which is an uncommon feature. Extracting from the case (if it's out of warranty) and hooking directly into a motherboard is the best way to get the smart data. You make also want to look into the freezer trick if it's clicking. Priority 1 is clone the drive with rescue tools. Enjoy, Alex -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
