ATA/SATA driver is possibly a SCSI class driver not supporting SMART.
If this is a SCSI disk, try "scsi<adapter><id>".
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or
more '-T permissive' options.
The drive is a Samsung 1614C which definitely supports SMART. Oh well,
so the answer is just "too bad", I assume...
Yes.
The device driver is likely a SCSI miniport driver and does not
implement SMART functions.

Try option "-r ioctl,2" for a more detailed diagnostic output.
