+The following information is extracted from [#266](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/issues/266)
+
+External HDDs support two modes of operation usb-storage (old, slower, stable) and uas (new, faster, sometimes unstable)
+. On some external HDDs, uas mode does not properly pass through SMART information, or even causes hardware issues, so
+it has been disabled by the kernel. No amount of smartctl parameters will fix this, as it is being rejected by the
+kernel. This is especially true with Seagate HDDs. One solution is to force these devices into usb-storage mode, which
+will incur some performance penalty, but may work well enough for you. More info:

 ### Exit Codes
 
 If you see an error message similar to `smartctl returned an error code (2) while processing /dev/sda`, this means that
-`smartctl` (not Scrutiny) exited with an error code. Scrutiny will attempt to print a helpful error message to help you debug,
-but you can look at the table (and associated links) below to debug `smartctl`.
