Has anyone tried any USB -> IDE devices as of yet? Any success? What is the difference in the SMART requests needed for a SCSI drive, compared to those for an IDE drive?

Hi Francis, > Has anyone tried any USB -> IDE devices as of yet? > Any success? I haven't tried it. Perhaps you could try and tell us if it works? > What is the difference in the SMART requests needed for a SCSI drive, > compared to those for an IDE drive? Well, the requests are described in two different documents, written by two different technical committees. There is not much coordination between them. In fact in the SCSI world, these commands are not even called "SMART". You can find both documents under the list of REFERENCES on the smartmontools home page. Cheers, Bruce |
