When I enable SMART on my external HDD it gets no information.
In the information pop-up all tabs give no info, only the ' detailed information tab' states something:
------------------------------------------
smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64] (local build)

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported field in scsi command
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

Does someone now what goes wrong?
I have two other external HDD's attached, which both work fine. I will now explain the differences, but I think my problem can't be in those differences:
- Those are WD Book (if I remember correctly), the new (not working) one is a Seagate Expansion.
- I encrypted all three drives. Only thing different is. The WD's I enabled SMART before the encryption. The Seagate I enabled SMART after the encryption.
- Another difference is that my WD are in raid0, but I only enabled that after enabling SMART, and I want to get rid of the RAID0, because I learned that's not a good idea with external HDD.
I hope someone can help.
