Usb Ssd not showing S.M.A.R.T values

[tonizombie]

Added a Samsung T7 Shield 2TB drive to proxmox and i can see it on node Disks in webgui but i cant see its smart values like the nvme drive.
It does show the model and serial but for smart it says "Error getting S.M.A.R.T. data: Exit code: 1 (500)" and for wearout "N/A"

Using "smartctl /dev/sda" shows me this

"/dev/sda: Unknown USB bridge [0x04e8:0x61fb (0x100)]
Please specify device type with the -d option."

I dont know what to specify it as tho.

I'm new to linux/proxmox any help appreciated.

I have never seen a usb drive that worked with SMART, so this may be a general problem.

you can try adding option -d scsi

btw, smart over usb works on Windows bare metal.
i'll try on a pve tomorrow.

With "-d scsi" it shows this, tempartures are at 0. Still wont show the info fully like the webgui for nvme (Picture 2)

the last -d sntrealtek option works for me, with a Lexar NVME enclosure.

Ty for link, smartctl /dev/sda -a -d sntasmedia gave full smart info.

Anyone know if there is way to change the command that the gui uses for a disk?

There is an user wrapper https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/issues-with-hp-p420i-and-smart.79669/post-476493
You can delete the part # Hack for disks connected to HP Smart Array:
then replace the default option -d scsi in the last lines for USB.

im unable to edit the smartctl file, opening it in nano just shows random @ symbols. Transfering to my pc and opening with notepad++ shows just NULL and other unreadable stuff
