Smartctl doesn't seem to be able to read its smart status but I'm sure the drive have some SMART data logged as there is a WD/SanDisk dashboard for windows can give a very detailed SMART data dump about the disk itself.
Here is the output of smartctl
I'm working on macOS 15.0.1 (24A348) with SAT SMART driver (https://binaryfruit.com/blog/we-released-sat-smart-driver-for-apple-silicon-macs) installed in order for smartctl to read smart data from usb connected devices.

-d sntasmedia
is not supported on macOS due to missing SCSI pass-through support.
Feel free to reopen this ticket if updated information is available.
Such fast (marketing: extreme) devices typically use either a NVMe SSD behind an USB to NVMe bridge or an USB direct to flash controller. SATA is not involved, therefore ATA-like diagnostics does not exist.
The USB Id 0x174c:0x2362 suggests that the device uses an ASMedia ASM2362 USB to NVMe bridge. It is already supported by smartmontools via
-d sntasmedia
, see ticket #1221. The Id is mapped to this option by the drive database,Unfortunately no
-d snt*
works on macOS because it still lacks SCSI pass-through support, see the USB wiki page.The SAT SMART driver is useless for NVMe devices. It apparently returns misleading garbage. It should return failure because the device likely returns an unsupported scsi opcode error on SAT requests.
