- I don't know whether the original poster meant to unload SMARTDRV to
- recover the memory used, or to stop caching the disks. In the latter
- case, I would try "SMARTDRV a- b- c-" which according to the manual will
- disable caching on those drives. You might need to use the /r option
- ("restart SMARTDrive") with them.
