I went there to find out more. Do you know prices? I dislike companies who do
not display prices on their websites.

Next I went here to find out more about sg_read_attr
http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html <http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html>
I have no idea what getopt+ means in the porte column, given the definition
given on that page.
But hey, we've got that ported to FreeBSD:
http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/sg3_utils/
<http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/sg3_utils/>
I'm presently querying SCSI devices for corrected errors / GB and use that for
retiring DLT and SDLT tapes. Now that I'm moving on up to LTO-4, I should
start using sg_read_attr. I'll report back with that I can do.
