I just downloaded your trial version. I was very impressed to see the 'SMART' data and discover I have a drive with 35,000+ hours on it. I notice the software pulls data for my internal drives but my externals USB/Firewireshow no SMART data. Is this due to the nature of USB and Firewire drives or because the drives were not initialized by SoftRaid?

it is because SMART is not passed through the USB/FireWire interface, so this data is not easily available.

Hi,
Will Smart data pass through the eSATA port of my OWCMercury Elite Pro Dual
Performance RAID Enclosure with USB3.1 Gen 1 and eSATA ports?
I am sold on SoftRaid now and ordered the above enclosure for backup. I realize the USB port will not pass SMART data but hope the eSATA will.
I plan on getting the ThunderBay 4 and a new Mac early next year when funds allow and SoftRaid will definitely be part of that system. I love the software. Thank you for making a great product.

Have not tested that, so do not know at this time, sorry. When we find out, we can post to the forum.
