Seeking help with JMicron JMS551/Sharkoon Quickport Duo USB 3.0

Hi smartmontools mailing list.

I have, so far unsuccessfully, tried to read smart data from a hard 
drive of mine sticking inside a Sharkoon Quickport Duo USB 3.0 
(http://en.sharkoon.com/product/1686/10066). According to Sharkoon, this 
thing comes with a JMicron JMS551, which is listed in my device manager 
(running Windows 10) as 152d 0561, a USB ID which is not yet listed on 
Mr. Gowdy's USB ID repository. The repo's down right now, and I was 
unsuccessful in registering an account at an earlier point in time, so I 
could not add it up until now.

Things I've tried so far:
[1] smartctl -a /dev/sdc
[2] smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sdc
[3] smartctl -d ata -s on -a /dev/sdc
[4] smartctl -d usbjmicron -a /dev/sdc
     smartctl -d usbjmicron,0 -a /dev/sdc
     smartctl -d usbjmicron,1 -a /dev/sdc


Results:
[1] C:\Users\Alex>smartctl -a /dev/sdc
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-win8] (sf-6.4-1)

Smartctl open device: /dev/sdc [USB JMicron] failed: \\.\PhysicalDrive2: 
Open failed, Error=5



The drive itself works perfectly fine and also reports smart values 
correctly when hooked directly to the mainboard.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If you need any more information from 
me, do tell!



Regards,
Alex
