I have a couple of external hard drives -- one is a 1.5t disk which has
failed and the other is a brand new Seagate 3t disk -- both in USB
enclosures one a Roseweil USB 3 and the other one a Startech USB 3.
When I run smartctl against them, the newer one gives a serial number
which Seagate says is not correct, and I get the message from both that
Smart is not supported. I am running unstable with kernel 3.6.2-gentoo.
Anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
