mmmmm, I see you'r not familiar with SMART...
Briefly, SMART doesn't need sensors to get temperature of HDD, it is the HDD that gets its own temperature (...and others), but the Mobo needs to be SMART enabled to permit getting these infos...
Now, get "Active SMART 2.3" from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.download.com">www.download.com</a><!-- w --> to verify and view the entire SMART capabilities of your system...
The MBM5 plugin is very "Time & Ressouces consuming" compare to SMART plugin, because it needs MBM5 to run in background... and SMART monitoring is totaly different than Mobo monitoring (No driver, no direct memory access, ...).
Using MBM5 plugin for TLB, plus MBM5 running in background, (... plus SMART plugin for MBM5) to get only your HDD temp is a very big installation for small result...
