Been there, done that: $ /usr/sbin/smartctl.exe -i /dev/hda smartctl version 5.37 [i686-cygwin-xp-sp2] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ ATA/SATA driver is possibly a SCSI class driver not supporting SMART. If this is a SCSI disk, try "scsi<adapter><id>". Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. The drive is a Samsung 1614C which definitely supports SMART. Oh well, so the answer is just "too bad", I assume...
