      I did see that already. It doesn't say whether having DCO Revision: 0x0001 means you HAVE it but I assume it does ?? Strangely it doesn't tell you how to get rid of it if you do.

        hdparm --dco-restore /dev/sdX is what removes this. this one should work over USB.

        You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

        Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

              i would issue hdparm --dco-restore /dev/sdX just because AAM can reduce the speed of the drive significantly. (but does make it quieter)

                  yes. dco commands are on the minimal list of commands required for operation. it wont damage if it does error anyway.

                    Ok before I do would it be useful to see the output of the -I (information) command ?

                      yes, the output of hdparm -I and smartctl -ax would be helpful. it should give me all the info on the drive minus pictures of the dust

                            Sata is handled by the kernel SCSI subsystem.

                                        You can't do it over that USB interface then. You'll need to go direct to SATA connection or a supported USB bridge.

                                          Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

                                          You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

                                          Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                                          Follow the white rabbit.
