When attempting to access the my 3ware SAS9750-4i4e RAID controller I get the error below (regardless if I choose the controllers device id or a drive through the controller. I'm currently using SATA disks only (I hear there are issues accessing SAS disks through the 3ware drivers).

Command: smartctl -a /dev/tws0 -d 3ware,0 Output: /dev/tws0: 3ware controller type unknown, use /dev/tweX or /dev/twaX devices

Command: smartctl -a /dev/da0 -d 3ware,0 Output: /dev/da1: 3ware controller type unknown, use /dev/tweX or /dev/twaX devices

I can provide access to the hardware if needed.

The drive is not recognized by default, but by adding -d sat, it works.

Hello,

I received a request to display the "Non-rotating Media Test" status in GSmartControl. Apparently, it can be used to differentiate between SSDs and HDDs. Seems to be returned by IDENTIFY DEVICE.

I don't know if this is something smartmontools would want to show. I put this up for your consideration.

Here's an MS tool that claims to show it: ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff564501(v=vs.85).aspx

Thanks!
