[Smartmontools-database] Success reports for USB/Firewire enclosures

[Mike Hardy]

Hello smartmontools people -

Forgive me if this USB enclosure is already listed as supported, I looked on the wiki[1] and didn’t see it.

I tried to edit the Wiki but the Trac installation doesn’t seem to be generating verification emails for new users correctly (yes I checked spam…) so I’m left with a report to this mailing list as the only option.

Also, I’ve been using smartctl / smartd … forever. Thanks to everyone that makes it work

Here’s the success report for the USB/Firewire enclosure while connected via Thunderbolt/Firewire:

On-The-GO FW800/USB3:

When connected via USB it looks like this:

Everything seems to work beautifully (even under OSX 10.13+ using a 3rd party SAT-SMART driver[2])

Hope this info helps. If you need more info, I’m not on the list so please include me directly.

Thanks -
