That usually means the smartmontools DB isn't new enough for your new device.
Could you give the version 6.6 that is in the current Development release of Ubunut (19.04 Disco Dingo) a try if that has an updated device DB that would know yours?

OTOH the 1100 series seems not too new in general.
But that would still mean the tools themselves would not know about it and it would be best to file an upstream bug about that.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I'm sure it'll be helpful to others experiencing the same issue.

This sounds like an upstream bug to me. Please can you verify this by building directly from the latest upstream source (or the 6.6 in Disco that I mentioned)? If this can be confirmed as an upstream bug, the best route to getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case would be to file an upstream bug if you're able to do that. Otherwise, I'm not sure what we can do directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem.

If you do end up filing an upstream bug, please link to it from here. Thanks!

Ok, tested with 6.6, which didn't make much of a difference as I had already updated my drivedb.h to the version found in the 6.6 version. I suspect the issue is due to this line in the database:

    "Micron_1100_MTFDDA[KV](256|512|1T0|2T0)TBN|" // Marvell 88SS1074, tested Micron_1100_MTFDDAK256TBN/M0MU020

As you can see, presumably there exist rules for the model, but the identifier is formatted differently than mine. I will fill n upstream bug report to signal this.
