Does QEMU support C++?
I guess I'm really not clear about how QEMU works. There's a QEMU SSD project here called FEMU which emulates a block device. If I wanted to basically have FEMU utilize a C++ compression algorithm instead of a C compression algorithm would there be anything I would have to change about QEMU itself, or can I just change it to use G++.

WD refused to answer our questions about its self-wiping SanDisk SSDs
By the way, but I've discovered that Seagate has published the source code for openSeaChest:
> openSeaChest is a collection of comprehensive, easy-to-use command line diagnostic tools and programming libraries for storage devices that help you quickly determine the health and status of your storage product. The collection includes several tests that show device information, properties and settings. It includes several tests which may modify the storage product such as power management features or firmware download. It includes various commands to examine the physical media on your storage device. Close to 200 commands and sub-commands are available in the various openSeaChest utilities. These are described in more detail below.

Upgrade Seagate EXOS drive via an external enclosure
USB is tricky as it requires translation but sometimes you can do a passthrough. The full list of commands is listed in the SeaChest user guide. The ASMedia ASM225CM is using UASP so forcing SCSI might work, but it might be best to read or ask on the openSeaChest github which has an openSeaChest_PassThroughTest command for diagnosis.

My hard disk keeps going to sleep even though the option is set to never.
Modern hard drives use EPC (extended power conditions) to manage power states. The drive goes into different idle states depending on how long it has been idle. You can modify these settings with SeaChest https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest/releases
