hddtemp doesn't work here ("S.M.A.R.T. not available") with my sata-disk, too.
# hddtemp /dev/hda /dev/sda /dev/hda: ST380011A: 29°C /dev/sda: ATA ST3250820AS: S.M.A.R.T. not available
But S.M.A.R.T actually is available, "sudo smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda" gives me the full output including temperature.
