Hi, Glad to hear this good news, but the download link on webpage is broken, even click updates in the old version. so how can we get this new version???
Yes, there was a problem with some of the download servers. It should be fixed now.
There is no feedback when choosing the “Install SAT SMART Driver” menu item. Does it work? Are you going to add more info to the Help about it?
I’m very excited about this new addition to my favorite utility.
Never mind. I downloaded the driver from the link in your earlier blog post and installed it.
So far it’s worked on 2 out of 6 drives tested (mostly older enclosures). Sweet!
Yes, sorry Colleen- there is a bug where sometimes it doesn’t work. Working on fixing that. I’ve found results similar to you- mostly new enclosures work. Anything is better than nothing!
