If it's a USB storage device, try 

Get the USB address from lsusb
Then add usb-storage.quirks=xxxx:yyyy:u to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt and reboot

After rebooting, dmesg | grep usb-storage should show something like this.

[    0.374083] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
[    1.028205] usb 3-2: UAS is ignored for this device, using usb-storage instead
[    1.028244] usb 3-2: UAS is ignored for this device, using usb-storage instead
[    1.028247] usb-storage 3-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[    1.028425] usb-storage 3-2:1.0: Quirks match for vid xxxx pid yyyy: 800000
[    1.028461] scsi host0: usb-storage 3-2:1.0


Now smartctl --all /dev/yourdevice should show the right info.
