Thank you so much. But unfortunately it is saying:
$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdc
smartctl 6.5 2016-01-24 r4214 [x86_64-linux-4.15.0-39-generic] (local build)

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported field in scsi command
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T
permissive' options.
I don't know if this matters but it is an external drive.
