You usually don’t find any information about it. Manufacure usually tell which one they use, even a device model might use different ones. You just need to start trying different device options, maybe you get lucky. A internet search can also help.
Yeah searching atm, having 0 luck though
I understand that. I my experiences with SMART and USB devices, it either worked nearly out of the box or it mostly never worked.
I give up, clearly seagate does not intend to be helpful to it’s customers so from now on I will NEVER buy their products again.
Quite often, these USB interfaces don’t report properly the SMART data if at all, but this is what I’d use if it does:
smartctl -ix /dev/sda
… run with sudo. I don’t have an SSD installed, I’d appreciate if someone who does can report if there’s any useful extra info reported when using one.
I get all this:
