Title:
  Unable to disable SMART for Corsair Neutron GTX SSD

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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:
  ===============================================================================================
  [  101.743095] ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
