     386=== Could missing drive database entries be added locally? ===
     387
     388Yes.
     389Create a separate local drive database file with the desired entries.
     390The entries in this file prepend and may override the entries in the installed or builtin database.
     391The default path of the local drive database is usually `/etc/smart_drivedb.h`.
     392On Windows, it is `drivedb-add.h` in the directory where `smartctl.exe` is installed.
     393See `-B [+]FILE, --drivedb=[+]FILE` section on smartctl man page for the configured default path and further info.
     394The default path is also included in the `smartctl -h` output.
