Thanks for the data. Nothing really stands out tho. It looks like the drive just doesn't like SMART commands 0xda and 0xd1. 0xda being a mandatory non-data command, it failing due to driver problem is unlikely. Can you please post the result of "hdparm -I /dev/sda" and "lspci -nn"? Bruce, WDC WD3200AAKS-00VYA0, 12.01B02 is timing out SMART commands 0xda and 0xd1 and the reported data seems all wrong. Does it ring a bell? The original thread can be read from the following URL. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/30459 Thanks. -- tejun
