Delock 62637 Works in PCMCIA PC Card Adapters

We tested SD in the 62637 Delock CompactFlash Adapter to SDHC, SDXC, and iSDIO (WiFi SD) Memory Cards in a Synchrotech PC Card Type II to CompactFlash Adapter and it worked like a charm.

Delock 42510 Thunderbolt housing and SSD S.M.A.R.T. queries

A customer asked if they could make expanded S.M.A.R.T. queries to a SSD installed in a Delock 42510 Thunderbolt External Enclosure for SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-inch SSD and HDD running on macOS Sierra.

Test system was running 10.12.5. The test SSD was a SanDisk SDSSDA120G.

S.M.A.R.T.

Apple’s built in tools don’t give much information other than the device being queried is verified. To obtain a comprehensive S.M.A.R.T. report, one needs to obtain third party tools. We decided on an open source command line package that’s available using systems like Macports and Homebrew. We installed smartmontools using macports.

sudo port -v install smartmontools

We then ran the query on the SSD in question.

smartctl -a disk2
