Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Install Seagate OpenSeaChest Utilities

Yes, unfortunately the energy consumption is high. And with today's energy price we probably too expensive.
No, it's not the end of the world, but it's always annoying and frustrating when it does not work.

Thanks for the great support!

You welcome,  
The majority of this tools use the SCSI layer, also because if your disk is in StandBy, it has big probability to not wake up, with certain commands..

On contrary using the Block Device driver, they will wake always..and 1 load/Unload cycle was waisted, and energy also..

Seagate guys, assured me that it should work for sure, they  have tested virtually almost all options..

Now I feel myself badly...   

I found some spare time today,
And I started playing around with some adaptors, none worked. on Rockpro64.

And so I checked( what I though was right, from the beginning.. the SCSI driver...it was not ) :

Code:

root@rockpro64:~# zcat /proc/config.gz |grep CHR_DEV_SG
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG is not set

I though that the SCSI Generic driver was something that for sure was built on kernel..
Or as a module...
That is the problem..

You need a kernel module 'sg' driver for your kernel version...
I am sorry I haven't checked it before..I though it was for sure built-in...
