[Smartmontools-database] PNY 2.5" enclosure: Unknown USB bridge [0x154b:0x5678 (0x5408)]

[Dirk Fieldhouse]

This USB3.0 2.5" SATA drive enclosure, supplied as part of a "PNY SSD
Upgrade Kit"
<https://www.pny.eu/en/consumer/explore-all-products/solid-state-drives/170-ssd-upgrade-kit-ssd>,
uses a USB-SATA bridge that isn't recognised by smartctl 6.6.

I've already posted the device details to the USB ID Repository.

Here's how dmesg finds it, and smartctl not recognising the bridge:

Luckily the normal SATA passthrough works "-d sat":
