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!
