I'm not much of a smartctl guru,
but since every drive has such a fixed set of these attributes
and in your case there are no "unknown" attribute IDs left to decipher here,
that means that your drive doesn't seem to offer such information,
unless one of the IDs happens to be some different information
than what smartctl thinks it is
(which actually might be the case sometimes since HDD vs. SSD types
in certain cases do have different attribute value assignments), or
unless "percentage used" can be gathered via a simple calculation algo
from existing, more generic attributes
(as an example, the vendor could state that the "percentage used"
is directly proportional to hitting a maximum number of Wear_Leveling_Count
or some such - who knows...).

Put differently,
"percentage used" possibly is a rather imprecise, abstract,
questionably useful value
which harddisk firmware would actually derive internally
as a "magic" calculation from certain memory-behaviour attributes,
so vendors probably figure that it's better
to instead publish exact attributes with a specific meaning,
from which then some kind of "percentage used" value can be more or less
"magically" calculated, *externally*
(and with easily downloadable calculation updates
in case it turns out that prior calculation was imprecise for that
device type).


Oh, and thanks for your device submission! :)

HTH,
