Consider a PATA or SATA disk attached over USB. AFAIK, the USB mass storage protocol is basically SCSI over USB. Is there a way to access the disk's SMART data over SCSI / USB? Perhaps as mode pages? Has anyone tried this? The reason I'm asking is this: http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport/index= .html This could be extremely useful to quickly extract SMART error logs from failing disks after you've replaced them, not to mention wipe them before RMAing them. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an eSATA connector. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
