I confirm this bug on Linux Mint 17.3 with gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0.

smartctl (from package smartmontools) works fine with command: sudo
smartctl -a /dev/sdX

Title:
  gnome-disk-utility (shown as "Disks") shows SMART option grayed for
  USB connect disks despite being available.

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

Bug description:
  gnome-disk-utility (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 confirming
  that there is no problem reading SMART data through a USB link. gnome-
  disk-utility acknowledge SMART capabilities if the same disk is
  connected through a SATA port.

  Confirmed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr on 2016-01-26, gnome-disk-
  utility 3.10.0, udisks 2.1.3 (built against 2.1.3) by Hans Deragon.

  This bug is the same as bug #1092900 which was reported against Ubuntu
  10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.  Following user dino99 suggestion, I opened this
  new bug report to follow the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty
  Tahr.
