Hi all,

I wanna get a detailed SMART report off my drives (WD Red Plus), and was told to run this in Terminal... no matter what I do, I get "Permission denied" error. What's the fix?

I have logged in as my main user which is part of the ADMIN group.

COMMAND:
smartctl --all /dev/sata2

ERROR:
smartctl 6.5 (build date Sep 26 2022) [x86_64-linux-4.4.302+] (local build)

Smartctl open device: /dev/sata2 failed: Permission denied


Any ideas?!

UPDATE:

The command was incorrect (got it from Reddit), should use the following command:

sudo smartctl -a -d sat /dev/sata2

This is resolved now!
