TLER/ECR control/status with Sentinel? (via SCT?)

Post by sagsag »

Hello,

I tried to search for it, but I was unable to find any information about it.

I understand that TLER/ECR status may be controlled/polled via proprietary SATA commands, or via ECR command using SMART Command Transport (SCT).

Does HDD Sentinel provide the ability to control or poll the status of this setting?


Thanks!

Thanks for your question.
At the moment, it is not yet possible in Hard Disk Sentinel but i'm checking how it is possible to collect, report and may modify TLER setting.

If it requires custom (special, non-standard) ATA command, hard disk controller drivers may prevent the use of it (maybe that's why WD provides a DOS tool, when there are no such problematic drivers loaded).
