[Speccy posting identical SMART data from HDD to External HDD]

Just checked another machine.  It's external drive is connected via eSATA and the information looks right.   I didn't acutally verify the info but it is different than the internal 'C' drive.  I will shut this down (it's not here at this computer) when I go to that machine, reconnect the drive as a USB3 and see what is reported.  Also the other two internal drives seem to be reporting correct information.  Internally this machine has two 1G Western drives and one 1/2 G Intel SDHD in addition to the external 4G Hitachii.

I was wrong.  The external drive showing correct information is connected via USB.  USB3.  That external enclosure is a newer one made by the same company as the other (Vantec).   I will next try eSATA and also connect to a USB2 port with a USB2 cable.

I too am seeing the same error

speccy 1.29.714

Computer: HP envy notebook

HD 1 T Hybrid

Windows 8.1 Pro x64

attached 2 USB external drives

 

I won't repeat all the info winactive did unless someone wants it, but I see the same problem as the area he highlighted.  The two external drives show the same info as the internal drive.  One other thing I see is an entry that only exists for one of the external drives.

 

The drive is a Hitachi Model - HUA722020ALA330

There is this entry:

 

Model Capacity For This Specific Drive    200GB
 

which is not correct.  This is a 2T drive

 

But this entry is correct:
