Title:
  Gnome disk (gnome-disks) utility does not show USB drive has SMART
  enabled.  Option is grayed.

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  gnome-disks (show as "Disks" on the desktop environment running Unity)
  systematically does not acknowledge that disks have SMART capabilities
  when connected through a USB port; SMART capabilities are grayed.
  However, 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/<disk>' works fine.  gnome-disks
  acknowledge SMART capabilities if the same disk is connected through a
  SATA port.

  Confirmed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar and previous versions.

  Original report -->

  In terminal it wasnt enabled but it was supported.
  I enabled it in 12.04 ubuntu in terminal.
  In 10.04 in terminal it shows its enabled but see screenshot in Disk utility it doesnt show SMART.
  PS. I formated using Disk utility using : Dont partition and in fdisk -l it doesnt show any partitions. Thats then showing all correctly?

  Toshiba v63600-C 1TB usb external HDD
  Formated using DISK Utility with not usual options:
  In DISK UTILITY Formated using: Dont partition and & FORMAT VOLUME to FAT (not possible to NTFS)
