smartctl works on the 'bare drive': /dev/sdx. It makes no sense to run
it on a partition (and smartctl seems to ignore the partition number).

Different make/model/rev/firmware? smartctl's output depends on what the
drive is able/willing to tell it in response to various requests. The
more 'chatty' (so to speak) the drive, the more output smartctl
displays. The -a option for SCSI disks is the same as '-H -i -A -l error
-l selftest', this is 5 key bits of information: health (-H) info (-i),
attributes (-A), and two flavors of error logs: error (-l error) and
selftest (-l selftest). Not all drives have all of this info available.
Eg, if the drive has no error log, '-l error' does not display much (if
anything), if the drive has not done a selftest, then '-l selftest'
won't display much. What the drive displays for its health, info, or
attributes depends on what the firmware has coded for those features.
