<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello!</div><div><br></div><div>I have installed a disk that is not
recognised, but I believe it has the same attributes as a model that is
in the database. I previously installed the same make and model
(apparently) in another computer which is recognised, but this one
identifies its model differently. I tried updating the DB to the trunk
version and this is the output of "smartctl -i":</div><div><span style="font-family:monospace"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace">=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===<br>Device Model: WD Blue SA510 2.5 500GB<br>Serial Number: 222141804429<br>LU WWN Device Id: 5 001b44 8b0b68083<br>Firmware Version: 52008100<br>User Capacity: 500,107,862,016 bytes [500 GB]<br>Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical<br>Rotation Rate: Solid State Device<br>Form Factor: 2.5 inches<br>TRIM Command: Available, deterministic<br>Device is: Not in smartctl database<br>ATA Version is: ACS-4, ACS-2 T13/2015-D revision 3<br>SATA Version is: SATA 3.2, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s)<br>Local Time is: Wed Apr 5 00:08:42 2023 BST<br>SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.<br>SMART support is: Enabled</span></div><div><br></div><div>I
manually edited the drivedb.h file to match this drive and the
attributes provided by "smartctl -A" now match the other computer's
drive (and appear to make sense).
