I want to report an external USB drive that does not work with
smartmontools.

The drive is a WD My Book 2GB Mirror Edition configured as a 1GB RAID1
device.
I can't seem to get an exact model number.

OS is Win8.1 Pro x64.

Everything below this line is from smartmontools.

Using All Info from the drive's context menu gets:
"C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin\smartctl.exe" -x I:\

smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-win8.1] (sf-6.4-1)
Copyright (C) 2002-15, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

I:\: Unable to read USB device ID
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary


Exitcode: 1 (0x01)
Type <return> to exit:

I get the same result if I go to an Admin Command prompt and try -a, -i,
-x, or --identify.

I tried all of the -d usb* options. Still no luck. And I tried -d sat.

Finally I tried adding -T to see whether it would make any difference. It
did not.

At this point it seems safe to assume the drive is unsupported.
