Imation Odyssey external USB dock

[donut123]

Hi,

I have an Imation Odyssey external USB dock. Similar in concept to RDX and Quantum GoVault, the Odyssey dock is a removable drive. Cartridges contain a 2.5" SATA hard disk.

smartctl seems to work fine using -d sat to talk directly to the drive in the cartridge. The dock USB VID:PID is 0718:1000. On connecting the dock I get dmesg output like:

scsi 10:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Imation  Odyssey RHDD          PQ: 0 ANSI: 4

lsusb output begins (serial number redacted):

# lsusb -v -d 0718:1000

There are also internal USB and "mobile USB" Odyssey docks but I don't know the USB IDs for those.

The make and model of hard disk in Odyssey cartridges will vary; the example below is for the Fujitsu drive inside a 120GB cartridge. (Notice that the drive accessed via the dock shows as having 4 fewer user sectors than the actual/native number of sectors. That's changed using DCO, either at the factory or by the dock firmware; I'm not sure which.)

Example from "smartctl -d sat --xall" with a 120GB cartridge that contains a Fujitsu drive:
