Hi, tks for your answer :D ,

here is the command answer :

[root@localhost ~]# smartctl -a -d scsi /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.33 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce=20
Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Device: HTS54808 0M9AT00          Version:
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Thu Mar 24 13:13:57 2005 CET
Device does not support SMART
Error Counter logging not supported
Error Events logging not supported
Device does not support Self Test logging

same thing with -d ata command ...

:(

It's boring to try something in external with knowing that in internal=20
it's works :(

best regards
Emmanuel
