The output makes sense. DB entry is now included in drivedb.h

These names are not wrong, we actually don't know the meaning of these 
attributes :-)

Traditional SMART provides 48-bit raw values. This firmware uses the 
VALUE and WORST bytes for a 64-bit raw value. Therefore, smartctl prints 
'---' for VALUE, WORST and THRESH. The FLAG value seams to be useless also.

This is not unusual: If a log is still clean, the checksums might be not 
valid.
