My Barracudas explicitly say SMART is available (disabled by default on power-up :-(, and ERC is not available. Yours mentions neither ERC, nor the error timeout, so something's weird somewhere ... quite possibly the drive can do it, but it's badly documented and the smartctl authors don't know the magic incantation ... :-) Or, like the Barracudas have a long timeout hard encoded, possibly the Constellations have a short timeout hard encoded.
