NVME and inappropriate ioctl error with hdparm

When I run hdparm on my m.2 drive # hdparm -I /dev/nvme0n1, I get flagged this message:

HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

However, hdparm works for my other drive when I run # hdparm -I /dev/sda:

And when I check the KDE Partition Manager, the NVME drive is labelled as UNKNOWN.

It looks like the IO controller can't identify the m.2 drive. Is this normal issue for NVME or am I missing something?
