I've never been fond of #JMicron #USB bridges! #SATA or #NVMe! (#ASMedia ain't much better?)
It's just a pain in the rear to pull #SMART reports off the drive!
NO, i friggen DO NOT WANT TO fumble around with "-d", and quirks, and shiz!
Tools on friggen #Windows (#CrystalDiskInfo) CAN DO it, so SHOULD smartmontools on #Linux, automatically!
(back in the 480mbps USB 2.0 days - things were BETTER - current #Linux code hasn't caught up)
…or is it #Firmware?
2/2
This puppy, a "filthy" #JMicron bridge (wich doesn't support readily available SMART reports - afaik), is my new #Ventoy / #Medicat storage!
I just dd-cloned my 128G USB stick, moved and resized the boot&storage partition, with #Gparted.
It semi-failed! I had to plug it into a Windows 10(pro) machine, let Windows complain & "repair" the NTFS partition.
All fine, biz as usual, since! 
New blog post, in which I am bewildered by the fact that two otherwise working Ethernet devices can refuse to communicate: https://blog.tty8.org/posts/2025-02-19-jmicron-jmc250-gigabit-ethernet-card-doesnt-work-with-mikrotik-hex-rb750gr3.html
Like, https://www.orico.com.cn/uploads/download/2022/0328/NVME%E7%A1%AC%E7%9B%98%E7%9B%92%E6%94%B9%E4%BC%91%E7%9C%A0%E6%97%B6%E9%97%B4.zip is the manufacturer tooling for some of the popular USB -> NVMe / SATA controllers around, surely there's interesting stuff there. #ReverseEngineering #NVME #JMicron #ASMedia
