I would greatly appreciate if it could be possible in the future to let smartctl read from stdin the hex-representation of 3ware-generated smart data and show the contents in human-readable format under Linux too. There are operating systems where tw_cli is available, but not smartctl. My current issue is related to VMware ESXi with a 3ware controller: with tw_cli running in that environment, I can get a hex table of smart data over ssh to Linux environment, where I would like to decode the data to human readable." enhancement closed minor smartctl 5.41 wontfix 3ware stdin
