I need to read HDD's Identify Data

[lukaskryske]

Hello, I am looking for application where I can read HDD's Identify Data. According to this document:
http://www.t13.org/documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2006/D1699r3f-ATA8-ACS.pdf,
table 17, words 208-254 (Vendor Specific) I need to get these values. Please recommend me some suitable application for Windows or Linux.
Thank you!

Try the following software.

CrystalDiskInfo:

smartmontools (Linux / Windows):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartm ... i/Download

The "r ioctl,2" option for the smartctl command produces an Identify Device data block in the following format:

===== [IDENTIFY DEVICE] DATA START (BASE-16) =====
000-015: 5a 0c ff 3f 37 c8 10 00 00 00 00 00 3f 00 00 00
016-031: 00 00 00 00 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
032-047: 56 39 31 53 36 59 32 41 00 00 00 00 04 00 44 53
...

Example: smartctl -a -r ioctl,2 /dev/ice
