Thanks for a nice little writeup on the Ubuntu Blog over at Wordpress.com.

So you want to know what the temparature of your hard disk drive is?

Simple:
Install the package hddtemp from the Universe repository by doing a:
$sudo apt-get install hddtemp

Later, whenever you want to check the temperature of the hard drive, do a:
$sudo hddtemp /dev/hda

where /dev/hda is the hardrive designator - which you can change if neccessary.
