When I bump into these types of issues, I like to run smartd by hand with the "-d" (debug) option. This can assist with locating problematic devices, and if the information is fed back into the smartmontools community, it can be used to update the device model information in the smartctl database (which can be printed by running smartctl with the "-P show" option).
