Yeah, almost certainly using a newer version of smartmontools would
fix this since it'd come with a newer version of the drive database
and it'd know how to communicate with the chipset.
AFAICT, though their
web-page mentions this drive, it's not yet in their
generated
http://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/smartmontools...
But this won't fix
the originally cited error he's getting, it'll just let him get SMART
information from the drive; and also make it possible to issue
smartctl -t long to do an extended offline test on all drives.
Absolutely.
As you mentioned in another post, my guess would also be a this error to
originate from an USB>SATA bridge issue. Now that you mentioned it, I
recall having had similar issues with PCIe->USB3 card several years ago
(The infamous "Renesas/NEC" driver issues). Unfortunately, I don't
recall what has resolved these for me :(
