Yes, this works. But: smartctl -l scterc -d 3ware,0 /dev/twa0 gives: Warning: device does not support SCT Error Recovery Control command Yet, if I "remove" the array with: tw_cli /c2/u0 remove Then: smartctl -l scterc -d 3ware,0 /dev/twa0 works fine, as does setting the...

OK, everyone, here is an update. No need to panic, the firmware is still the same, and I can still set scterc when the drives are NOT in an array. The setting is available via the built-in SATA ports on my motherboard, and also on the 3ware 9500S if the drives aren't yet configured in an...

OK, it is still the same file. Turns out the problem is between smartctl and the 3Ware 9500S. Please see the full explanation on my other thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1570310

What is the HD240UI_JP.EXE file for? I don't see "-JP" on my model number, so I used F4EG.exe. Should I use HD240UI_JP.EXE?

The date on F4EG.exe inside the zip file is Dec 14. Does anyone have a copy of this file from a while back (or have any idea when it got posted)?

Also note, that the samsung download link posted on the following thread is what I used. It is possible that the version at the link has changed. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036587515&posted=1#post1036587515 The file that gets downloaded is NOT 181550HD204UI.EXE as referenced...

Warning -- they may have changed the version of code at this link, as I downloaded and installed this, and now I can't set TLER/CCTL (smartctl -l scterc) anymore.

I downloaded: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/faqView.do?b2b_bbs_msg_id=386 to fix the NCQ write condition that can result in data loss, and I can no longer set scterc with smartmontools! HELP! I just purchased these three Samsung HD204UI's to replace the 3 WD20EADS's that I...

Is there a tool to permanently set TLER/CCTL on the Samsung HD204UI like WDTLER.EXE does for the WD drives that support TLER? To me, this seems to be a safer solution than hoping that the RAID card doesn't drive a drive on boot up, before start up scripts can run smartctl to set scterc...

Me too (getting old): anyone else here that had an Atari 2600 when they first came out? I really envied my friends that had the Colecovision. I wanted an Atari 5200, but never had one, got the C64 instead.

Ahh, someone else from my Era (see my Sparc post). I started with the Commodore 64. Great machine for its time. I unfortunately had to toil with DOS for a few years in college, as I couldn't afford a Mac or an Amiga. I did get my paws on a pirated copy of Xenix my senior year and...

A few years ago, I had a couple of Ultra-60's with duall 300 MHz processors, 2 GB of RAM. They also had the Creator 3D frame buffers too. Good machines. I had Solaris 8 on one, and Linux on the other. I also played with Linux on a couple old Sparc 20's with dual Hypersparc...
