My maxtor_6y080p0:
9 Power_On_Minutes 0x0032 217 217 000 Old_age
Always - 595h+50m
And my st380011a:
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 092 092 000 Old_age
Always - 7111

But the st380011a is younger than the maxtor_6y080p0 so that number of
595h is wrong. I noticed that the temperature that it reports is too low
also. YMMV.

And smartctl cannot be used with some disks: I have two disks that I use
with an USB enclosure and smartctl gets:

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)

although they are a PATA and a SATA disk
