Comment 4 for bug 1874371

All relevant information is in the description; specifically, this:

see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsmartcontrol/+bug/1873546

and I copy my latest comment from there, because it seems quite relevant here.

The hardware maintenance phase of 16.04 finished end Q1 2018.
The release date of the Kingston SA400S37 ssd was Q1 2017.
Therefore, the upstream decision from Debian maintainer, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1858121
is within the bounds of the hardware maintenance phase.
Accordingly, update-smart-drivedb should be reinstated, backported from 18.04.
