I've seen the Sandforce based disks are improved according to 5.40 change-log. Compiled the latest smartmontools from SVN (2011-03-29) but there are still some Unknowns in some Attribute fields.

Viking Modular has a nice Datasheet which covers these values: ​http://www.vikingmodular.com/documents/products/PSFS21XXXGBXXX_A1.pdf freely available from Producs page. These should be common to all Sandforce-based disks.

Most terminal emulators default to 80 columns, so smartctl -A should default to producing output that fits within that width.

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.
