I've never been fond of #JMicron #USB bridges! #SATA or #NVMe! (#ASMedia ain't much better?)
It's just a pain in the rear to pull #SMART reports off the drive!
NO, i friggen DO NOT WANT TO fumble around with "-d", and quirks, and shiz!
Tools on friggen #Windows (#CrystalDiskInfo) CAN DO it, so SHOULD smartmontools on #Linux, automatically!
(back in the 480mbps USB 2.0 days - things were BETTER - current #Linux code hasn't caught up)
…or is it #Firmware?
