Hi,
I am using a Samsung HD400LD on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1 with 
an external Revoltec enclosure. With the -d auto parameter it is 
recognized as follows (Windows event log):

smartd[4552]:Info
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], opened
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], SAMSUNG HD400LD, S/N:S0AXJ1PP215218, 
FW:WQ100-14, 400 GB
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], found in smartd database: SAMSUNG SpinPoint T133
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], is SMART capable. Adding to "monitor" list.
  Monitoring 2 ATA/SATA, 0 SCSI/SAS and 0 NVMe devices
  Device: C:/, initial Temperature is 44 Celsius (Min/Max ??/44)
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], initial Temperature is 33 Celsius (Min/Max 
??/33)
  Device: E: [USB JMicron], SMART Usage Attribute: 190 
Airflow_Temperature_Cel changed from 66 to 67

As this enclosure seems to be the reason for frequent errors I bought a 
used Freecom enclosure. With this enclosure I cannot find a suitable -d 
parameter. No matter what I use (or none) the device is not recognized. 
Examples from the event log:

- Device: E:, unable to autodetect device type
- Device: E: [USB JMicron], open() failed: No device connected
- Unable to register ATA device E: at line 3 of file C:/Program 
Files/smartmontools/bin/smartd.conf

Is it impossible to use smartmontools with this enclosure or are there 
other parameters needed?
