SMART info not available - any other advanced options?

[beatle]

I just popped a new drive into my R720XD, a SAS 14TB from MDD. It started scanning right away and the drive seems healthy, but I'm unable to pull any SMART info from it.  I looked through the wiki and found a few options in advanced settings that I've tried:

• IgnoreSignature
• Unsafe
• NoWmi

I restarted the Scanner service after enabling each one of these, but the drive still won't pick up SMART info.  Thinking it might be the drive, I tried out HD Sentinel which has no problem reading the SMART info.  Are there any other things to try?  I've had dozens of drives through the years but this is the first one to have this issue.

Unfortunately there is still no Scanner support for reading SMART from SAS drives.

Ahh, I did not know that.  I'll keep that in mind when shopping for drives though.  Is this a feature on the roadmap or a permanent limitation with how Scanner works?

I know Christopher (one of StableBit's staff) has mentioned on the forum that he'd like to see it but I don't know if it's progressed from "wishlist" to "roadmap".
