What SCSI controller? For example SATA drives need extra params to get
their temps. My SATA drives need '-d ata' under smartctl to get SMART
data.

       -d TYPE, --device=TYPE
              Specifies the type of the device.  The valid arguments  to  this
              option  are  ata,  scsi, marvell, and 3ware,N. If this option is
              not used then smartctl will attempt to  guess  the  device  type
              from the device name.

Try hddtemp as well. It reads my SATA drives no problem.
