"Usually doesn't work" is a bit strong. With current hardware I'd say it usually does work with USB. See: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/USB for details. The big problem is that low-end vendors don't tell you what chipset they use, and sometimes the same model USB case is sold with a variety of chipsets, so you can't count on smartmon support even if it works with the last case you bought. -- George N.
