I think in the past there were several reports of hardware including
disks, that, when you queried something wrong, may have ended up
severely damaged.
Most of these problems were unrelated to any influence the drive
database file has on smartmontools operation.
For example: Buggy RAID controller firmware doing interesting things if
specific (SAT) pass-through commands are issued.
Or my favorite: Samsung F4 disks discarding write cache if ATA IDENTIFY
is issued.
