Open macuserguru opened 9 years ago

macuserguru commented 9 years ago

Have anyone tested OS X SAT SMART driver under OS X El Capitan 10.11.x? Wich version works under OS X El Capitan 10.11.x without disable the new OS X El Capitan security features? Or has Apple included the SMART driver for external hard disks self now in El Capitan?

Under Yosemite 10.10.4 I use 0.8 and it works well.

@core-code sorry - its an extraordinaire ;-)

If I understand right the binary fruit DriveDV version runs without disabled SIP?

Momentary I upgrade all my MacPorts programs, than comes the first TM backup after El Capitan upgrade, then I will test the binary fruit DriveDV version of the SAT-SMART-Driver 0.8 for El Capitan.

PS (off topic): HDAPM works well under El Capitan http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/

Holy moly!! I can confirm what alvarnell describes! It works again!!

Instruction:

  1. Unmount all external drives
  2. Uninstall old DriveDx Version
  3. Uninstall old driver using these commands (from the DriveDx website): sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTLib.plugin
  4. Reboot
  5. Install latest DriveDx Version 1.4.1
  6. Install the new updated driver (for OS X El Capitan 10.11) from the DriveDx website: http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx/usb-drive-support
  7. Reboot
  8. Mount your external drives
  9. Enjoy the SMART data from your external USB drives! :-)

@casey1234 is SIP enabled after? What shown after? $ csrutil status

I use DriveDx 1.4.0 (Build 485) from AppStore - comes an (licensed) update?

casey1234 commented 8 years ago

Hi!

I didn't do anything with SIP, it is still enabled!

I also tested version 1.4.0, and it also worked! :-) I think the important thing is the brandnew driver from their website - here is the download link (for 10.11 El Capitan only): http://binaryfruit.com/download/mac/satsmartdriver/SATSMARTDriver-0.8.zip

Best wishes Casey

The 1.4.1 version contains the same driver as the one on their web site, so there is no need to download it, just install it from within DriveDx.

And yes, SIP is not in play here. It remains in whatever state you currently have it.

The sign driver works well now 'driver for OS X El Capitan 10.11+' http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx/usb-drive-support/ I looked inside the kext packet - its included a new sign file. After a reboot: $ csrutil status System Integrity Protection status: enabled.

Well done - thanks!

Good to hear there is something, but I would still prefer a solution here.

rivera-ernesto commented 8 years ago

Also because this solution is for 0.8 when we already have 0.10 released.

macuserguru commented 8 years ago

gives another code singed version as the 0.8 from http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx/usb-drive-support/ that works an El Capitan?

PS: Binaryfruit offers an update from 0.8 too
