S.M.A.R.T. problem Sharkoon 5-bay RAID Box

Hi everyone,

 

I have a problem reading the smart value of a drive in the Sharkoon 5-bay RAID Box with the Scanner.

This is a known problem with this enclosure but maybe one that could be solved.

 

With this 5 bay enclosure http://www.sharkoon.com/product/1689/11353#descthe smart values of the HDD in the highest slot can't be read.

It doesn't matter if you populate all slots in which case slot number 1 doesn't pass anything or if you just populate the bottom 2 in which case slot number 4 doesn't pass the values.

At least this was the case till today.

I had never tried Hard Disk Sentinel before and so far it is the only tool that got me the values from the top most drive.

 

Setup:

Scanner v 2.5.2.3103 BETA

HD: SAMSUNG HD204UI

Controller Card: Marvell 92xx SATA 6G Controller (AHCI) [VEN: 1B4B, DEV: 9230] Version: 1.2.0.1027, 6-6-2012

Enclosure Side: JMICRON  RAID #6/1 [14-0]

 

It is connected via eSata and set to Clear Raid mode, so every drive is directly accessible.

 

If HD Sentinel can do it, i am sure Scanner will be able, too.

 

I tried the direct I/O test, was happy to see this

The only specific method that gave me anything was "ScsiMiniportClassDriver" where i got this in the Direct I/O section

The values are messed up but at least it is something.

 

What are my next steps to figure this out / help to get this working?

 

 

Greetings

Okay, just wanted to make sure.

 

In that case, could you get the BitFlock ID for the system (either head to bitflock.com or open the SMART details on a disk and select the "Submit to BitFlock" option).

Post the ID here.

 

 

Specifically, I think the device ID for the enclosure is not recognized at all, and the default method doesn't work.

The letters K,L,F and M are in the enclosure.

The top most bay (bay 1) is empty.

Bay 2 to 5 contain K(2), L(3), F(4) and M(5).

 

It will always be the bay with the lowest number containing a drive that gives trouble with smart values.

If i put another drive in bay 1, drive K in bay 2 WILL show its smart-values.
