Hi there,
I just successfully tested smartmontools v. 5.39 (lenny-backports) under
Debian with my Western Digital MyBook Essential 1,5TB
Here's what I got:
# smartctl -q noserial -a /dev/sda
smartctl 5.39 2009-12-09 r2995 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build)

Please add old Seagate ST31720A to the Smart database.
smartctl -a -T verypermissive output is attached to this mail.
More sample outputs, pictures and drive specifiation can be found on

Best regards,
