Same with smartctl pre-7.4 2022-05-08 r5381.
smartctl pre-7.4 2022-05-08 r5381 doesn't report some Device Models and Serial Numbers correctly with some Western Digital devices. Model Family can be problematic with old Western Digital devices.
Read labels on drives themself and on Internet. Don't trust smartctl pre-7.4 2022-05-08 r5381 blindly with some Western Digital devices.

Shows the most detailed information about the OEM NVMe drive that comes with my PC - comes with the most fresh disk database and presents particular device S.M.A.R.T data in most readable form (if you can read from console that is.)
