communicating with sata device

[aatwo]

Hey guys.I am going to write a program that can communicate with a hard drive and I have found some good looking drivers for SCSI (sg3_utils) and I am now looking for some good drivers/utilities that I can add to my program so I can communicate with ata/sata devices as well.

Does anyone know of any good, well tested and popular libraries written in c++?

Regards, aatwo.

SATA drives appear as SCSI drives on Linux at least. You might look at the hdparm program to see what it uses for IDE devices.

Brilliant thanks for the reply.

I forgot about hdparam :)
