Use the following Terminal command:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext

Apparently removing the extended attribute is not sufficient to load the driver on Yosemite:

sif:Extensions adib$ sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext
xattr: /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
sif:Extensions adib$ sudo kextutil -t /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext

What version are you trying to install? From a previous discussion:

kasbert commented 19 days ago Seems that Yosemite blocks unsigned kernel extensions. However, there is a list of exceptions to that rule (inside one Apple kext). I have no idea how SATSmartDriver got into that list, but versions 0.8 and 0.9 are there and they will work with Yosemite.

I tried to install version 0.10.

Version 0.9 kind of doesn't work on Yosemite – it freezes Disk Utility while starting and only workable via smartctl, albeit there is a lengthy delay between the drive information dump and the actual SMART data dump when running smartctl -a.

Thanks

I have stuck with 0.8 and have had no issues, as that’s still the one distributed with SMART Utility and DriveDX and it has worked with all the drives I need to access routinely. The newer ones were primarily to satisfy special needs that I don’t seem to have.

I use Yosemite and 0.8 too and it works well. All my external HDs are supported.

I don't know what we can do that Apple put 0.10 in the well known kext list.

Unfortunately this issue it's a real pain, especially because I've two enclosures, one USB (sunplus) and the other FW (oxford - manpower), none of them are recognized, version 0.8 nor version 0.9 recognize them out of the box and I can't modify the Info.plist due to the signature invalidation on Yosemite.

Would not be possible to have different way to add enclosure data, instead of modifying the Info.plist?
