No. If only zeroes are returned, this would typically be a driver bug 
(e.g. data not copied to user space buffer).

But in this case, a correct empty thresholds block with version number 
(first byte) and checksum (last byte) is returned:

===== [SMART READ ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS] DATA START (BASE-16) =====
000-015: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...
...
496-511: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ...
===== [SMART READ ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS] DATA END (512 Bytes) =====

This possibly means that the drive does not support SMART READ 
THRESHOLDS. From the ATA standards point of view this is OK, as this 
command was declared obsolete in ATA-4 (~1998).

Could you possibly test this drive on another machine and/or with 
different OS?

Thanks,
Christian
