There is no LSI/Broadcomm MegaRAID support in the Windows version of 
smartmontools, see https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1334 and related 
tickets. There were some user reports that very old MegaRAID drivers for 
Windows support CSMI, but this is apparently no longer the case. Try 
"smartctl --scan".

Access to non-RAID SATA drives may work with '-d sat'.

This syntax enables the ATA pass-through I/O-control for very old 3ware 
RAID controllers. It is unlikely that this works with MegaRAID.
