You have been subscribed to a public bug:

During every boot sequence, SMART commands are sent to this SSD, causing
a minute long hang, until a kernel error message appears, telling me
that some SMART command failed. Since SSDs are not the target audience
for SMART checks anyway, I wanted to disable smart checks through gnome-
disk tool.

When I tried to disable SMART for this disk, I got the following error message:
===============================================================================================
Error sending ATA command SMART, sub-command DISABLE OPERATIONS: ATA command failed: error=0x04 count=0x00 status=0x51 (g-io-error-quark,0)
===============================================================================================

After closing the error dialog, SMART switch in the window is turned
back on :( All I wanted was disable SMART checks during boot time for
this disk ....


The kernel message (taken from dmesg output) regarding SMART and the SSD at boot time is as follows:
===============================================================================================
