Using "-d usbjmicron" the device (USB ID 0x18a5:0x0227) works so far, but there are three small problems:

1. The reported capacity is too low (it is a 250 GB drive):

   User Capacity:    137.438.952.960 bytes
   

2. A warning is printed:

   255 Unknown_Attribute       0x000a   252   252   ---    Old_age   Always       -       0
   255 Unknown_Attribute       <== Data Page      |  WARNING: PREVIOUS ATTRIBUTE HAS TWO
   254 Free_Fall_Sensor        <== Threshold Page |  INCONSISTENT IDENTITIES IN THE DATA
   

3. The device works with "-d usbjmicron,x" too, but then an error is reported:

   General Purpose Logging (GPL) feature set supported
   ATA_READ_LOG_EXT (addr=0x00:0x00, page=0, n=1) failed: scsi error medium or hardware error (serious)
   Read GP Log Directory failed.
   

I already added the device to wiki:Supported_USB-Devices.

Hello,

I encountered this error when testing 3ware support under Windows (XP 32 bit and win7 64bit).

Suppose the drive behind the controller is /dev/sdd,2. Running "smartctl -s on (or off) on /dev/sdd,2" works. However, running "smartctl -s off /dev/sdd" says "Disable failed: Input/output error". After this, the SMART data is accessible neither on "/dev/sdd,2", nor "/dev/sdd". Trying to re-enable it says "Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)". The 3ware web interface also says that it cannot access SMART data on the drive. Only a reboot seems to help.

smartmontools: smartmontools-5.41-0-20110204-r3253.win32-setup.exe. Windows: observed under winxp (32-bit) and win7 (64-bit). Controller: 3ware 9690SA-4I4E, 1 drive attached to port 2.

This is the full log of my commands under winxp:

Hello,

Is it possible for "smartctl -i" to always print sector sizes? I got a new drive recently and wanted to find out its sector size. Smartctl wouldn't say, but then I accidentally found out (while reading its sources) that it actually prints that info, but only when the sector size is not 512. I think it would be much more intuitive if it always printed that, because the current behavior is a bit confusing (at least it was to me).

Thanks
