I see this too on my my system with a 3ware 7410 card and with the 
smartmontools installed. I think maybe it's just that the 3ware card (which 
appears as a scsi device) doesn't support the right scsi opcode for querying 
that info. If I stop the daemon provided by that package the errors stop.

I only installed smartmontools recently and noticed this problem right away. 
Has it ever worked for you? If it has and this is a regression then this is a 
bug, otherwise I think it's something that 3ware will need to fix in their 
driver or hardware or both.
