Re: Seeking help with JMicron JMS551/Sharkoon Quickport Duo USB 3.0

Hi Christian,

first, thank you for the quick response. I tried running all the 
commands again with admin privileges, including with -d sat, but except 
for -d ata, all the others now spit out the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>smartctl -d sat -a /dev/sdc
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-win8] (sf-6.4-1)

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported field in scsi command

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more 
'-T permissive' options.


So -d ata is the only thing that actually succeeds at gathering *some* 
valid information from the hard drive. Do you have any other ideas?

As a side note: this is my first time using a mailing list. I'm using 
Thunderbird's "Reply All" to reply to this, and I'm guessing you will 
get two copies of this mail because of that. Is there any better option?


Regards,
Alex
