Wow haven't posted here in well over 2 years.

I have a eSATA hard drive enclosure and I really would like to know what kind of temp my 500gig drive is running at in this passively cool case. There used to be wonderful programs like motherboard monitor however I can't find something strictly for hard drive temp. Now I know every hard drive should have these sensors built in, so how do I get to see its reading? :)

not sure about eSATA, but smartctl -d ata [other arguments here] works for my sata drives...
