to add: im am using v: 2.5.1.3062 I have just used the direct test I/O software listed on here and find if I select the "unsafe direct I/O" option I get the smart data status to go green. if I do not use that option it will not go green.

Afternoon From the UK, I have both Scanner and drivepool on my Server 2012R2 install with the essentials role working but I have a strange quirk I would like to ask about. I have for most part always used an generic external usb2 hard drive caddy that I can pop a spare hard drive in to and use it for the server back of the OS etc, my problems started when I though I would try and get a new usb3 caddy to use. I have tried over 5 different usb3 caddys now and not one of them will pass the smart data over from the disk/caddy to scanner.And it seems to be a usb3 problem due to the same disks fully pass over smart data in the old usb2 caddy and also of those usb3 caddys that has a esata connection it would pass over the smart data via the esata. 1. any ideas if this something specific to my setup or is usb3 a problem for smart data? 2. does anyone have a link to a working single drive usb3 3.5in caddy that is known to work fully with smart? 3. I would also like to use a 2 or 4 bay external usb3 caddy, but I want each of those disks to report back smart data to scanner,does anyone have one of these working? cheers sorry please move to scanner section posted by mistake in here.
