Mac OS X does not support diagnosing external drives using S.M.A.R.T. technology “out of the box” . In order to allow your Mac to diagnose external drives, you will need to install a special third party driver. Please note that this is a requirement of Mac OS X, and not DriveDx.

The standalone version of DriveDx includes this driver. But users also can download and install (other version of) driver by themselves. See installation instructions bellow .

Despite that some modern external USB/FireWire drive enclosures correctly send S.M.A.R.T. data over those interfaces, this technology is named SAT (SCSI / ATA Translation), – unfortunately Mac OS X doesn’t support this feature out of the box.

If you want to perform external drive diagnostics on OS X – currently there is only one option – you can install 3rd party kernel extension – SAT SMART Driver.Psremote 2 5 1 keygen for mac download. SAT SMART Driver is free open source project (published under Apple Public Source License) by Jarkko Sonninen. It is hosted on GitHub.
