Solved: D6-320 S.M.A.R.T data Passthrough [Accepted]

[Urumiko]

The biggest worry/let down with the D6-320 is that S.M.A.R.T data is not passed through to the host.
I know I am not the only one disanointed by this as it removes critical early warning features for disk failure.
Is there any possibility a firmware update could be provided to remedy this?

Disappointed* I also request an edit post button on the forum

Post editing can be performed within 24 hours.

Post editing can be performed within 24 hours.

That's not really the case. In those cases where I find I can edit (few and far between it seems), it seems more like 24 seconds or until I move away from the subject. Then the edit function never comes back.
<edit> Or is this a very recent change </edit>

Would you try again?

[Gremlin]

OK, confused. Just went to look at my most recent posts under USerID > Profile, as I have done many times, but THAT function has disappeared now. Obviously (?maybe?) from my previous which I edited, I could at that point make an edit, but I'm not convinced it applies every time in every thread. I'll have to wait 24 hrs to see for how long I can edit this one.

<Edit> at 4.5 hours. ok
<edit> at approx 17 hours ok, so call that a success - (sorry for the hijack) and I found 'recent posts' again.

Any insight on my original question?

Sorry to miss your major question, I think our team will answer the un-answered questions, but obviously, they missed this one too.
I need to check with the team and come back to you soon.

Sorry, It is recommended that you upgrade your firmware according to this guide: viewtopic.php?t=7111 and then try again.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I can confirm that after following the firmware update procedure with a windows machine and reconnecting the DAS to my server all of the smart data for my drives is now visible within Proxmox so I am very happy and also more likely to recommend or buy more of these devices.

I'd like to feed back to the team that I think it would be really helpful to provide this firmware update or a means to update the firmware more generally via your product support/downloads page. Ideally a more user friendly software package targeted at the average user.
I have seen a lot of people online not recommend this product because of this problem and it would be great to see the fix easily available .

Thank you once again for your help.
