Well, I'm not an expert on hard drive thermal sensors, but I'll
make some educated guesses. First of all, all the G5's I'm familiar
with have two onboard SATA controllers and drive bays, which leads
me to conclude you're using a add-on PCI/PCIe/PCI-X SATA
controller. My guess would be that the add-on SATA card you're
using doesn't have the necessary circuitry (or maybe Hardware
Monitor just doesn't recognize it) to pass on temperature data to
the OS. Is the WD 250 connected to the onboard SATA or the add-on
card? What brand of SATA controller are you using in the G5?
Perhaps the manufacturer has a driver or application which will let
you monitor the HD temps.

The onboard HDDs are 1 WD 250 and one Seagate 250. The Hitachi 2TB
is on a Seritek 1V4 card which displays S.M.A.R.T status.
I just downloaded Temperature Monitor to test on my DA Dual 533 with a
Seritek 1S2, and it does not pick up the attached Seagate 1TB drive
attached to it as a temperature sensor-ed device. : (
IIRC, all PATA drives attached on the onboard ATA channel of my QS
2002 Dual 1GHz do get picked up.
SMART status works ok via Disk Utilities.
