External hard drive temperature monitoring

I have a Western Digital Caviar SE WD3000JB 300GB in an AMS VENUS DS-2316B2BK External Enclosure connected by USB.

Is it possible to get temperatures from the drive through USB? Speedfan and NHC don't even list the hard drive. Is it possible through USB or does the drive have to be connected directly by IDE?
 
I know of no way to get temperature of a drive unless you put a sensor on the drive or in the case. There are no temp sensors in stock drives, IDE, PATA, SATA or SCSI.

There is no established data channel for that in the drive's on board circuitry. You might be able to slip in a thermostrip designed for the motherboard's use for an internal drive. It would have be built in to the computer case. I've never seen one.
