USB-to-SATA bridge on Orange Pi Plus

bronco · Published in 2015-7-6 20:39:39

Hi,

does anybody here knows whether the GL830 USB-to-SATA bridge used on the Plus (H3 doesn't come with SATA) supports SCSI / ATA Translation? Otherwise querying SMART status won't be possible.

Any user of a Plus with connected 'SATA disk' willing to give it a try? What does a

smartctl -a /dev/sda

Copy code

print (assuming there's just one disk connected and that the smartmontools package is installed)?
Thx in advance

Thx a lot. It's working but not perfect

Would also be interesting whether you could trigger a short self test (smartctl -t short /dev/sda) and query the disk with hdparm:

hdparm -I /dev/sda

Copy code

Thx a lot!

BTW: Have an eye on the Load_Cycle_Count: your disk parks its heads every 2 minutes (statistically when comparing power on hours and the LCC counter).
I would try to optimise settings (with Toshiba disks AFAIK you've to use APM settings). I would try to decrease LCC values and to configure complete spin-down using hdparm after several minutes of inactivity if the use case is appropriate (only accesses to disk from time to time)
