Installed a new SSD Cache drive and it works perfectly apart from lots of "unknown attributes" in SMART...

Any ideas, i've attached a screenshot.  My previous 2 SSDs never had this issue.  

  

It's a Crucial MX500 SATA SSD.

  

  

Thank you for looking.

It's because it's a very new model, still not on smartmon tools database, you'll need to wait until it's updated to include it.

Exactly the response I was after!!  

  

Will I need to update any databases or is it part of unRaid that will update itself?  Thanks.

I'm not sure if the database is updated without a new unRAID release, but you can check current version by typing smarctl on the console:

ERROR: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument.

Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary

 

 

Just noticed unRAID is using quite an old version, 6.6 has been available for some time, though not sure if the MX500 is part of that database

When there is a new database available it will be included in a next release of unRAID, this doesn't garantee that unRAID is always using the latest version though.

That's what I though, but why are we not using 6.6?

 

Smartmontools 6.6 was released 2017-11-05

Probably overlooked, could be something for the next release of unRAID.

 

Ps. I am talking about the SMART database, not the tools.

Ahh, I didn't know the database was separate, in that case we're running the latest database:

 

root@Tower1:/# /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb
/usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h is already up to date

Unless the database is tied to the version?

No, database is independent. but it can take time before disk models are part of it. Had the same "issue" with a Crucial MX100 at the time, but eventually is was included. This is purely a display thing, it doesn't affect the working of the disk itself.

Yeah, I know, just though we were running an old database, thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks!  Really appreciate the quick responses.  Not overly concerned just didn't know if something was amiss.
