This also occurs when connecting another USB drive of a different make, the values from the HDD SMART are reported for the External HDD.

 

I have highlighted the start of the data for each drive. The partition sizes and structure is interpreted per drive but HW IDs and SMART table data is just duplicated. I have tried the portable builds and the result is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Speccy.

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:

 

Real size    2,000,398,934,016 bytes

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.

 

2015-12-14 - correction

 

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 have now connected a Seagate Expansion Portable 1TB via USB (doesn't matter if USB 2.0/3.0).

 

The SMART info is correct for the Seagate external drive, but the WD MyPassport Ultra still has the duplicate data. I suspect this may well be a firmware issue on drives or how Speccy interrogates them.

I am seeing the same thing with the latest Speccy (1.29).

My primary disk-drive is a 6Gb/second SSD. See below.

My motherboard is an MSI, with built-in RAID support.

My secondary disk-drive is a 'RAID-1' pair of Seagate 500GB drives.

The volume-serial-number for the RAID set is showing the same as the SSD disk,

and the SMART data is for the OCZ.

I've just joined this forum in order to report this same bug!

 

I see this SMART data error on several machines where an external HDD is attached via a USB adaptor. The data reported for the external hard drive is identical to that for the internal hard drive.

 

I'm a little disappointed to note that no one from Piriform appears to have responded to this bug report so far, after six months. :(
