It is a SATA disks :( So, when I run smartd, it says that currently it doesn't support SATA.
When you can bring the machine down, you might want to boot a recent kernel (>= 2.6.15) and test the disk with smartctl. (knoppix probably will not work, but a recent live-cd that has 2.6.15 and smartctl).
FC4 with the 2.6.15 kernel worked. You'll probably have to wait until EL5 for smartctl libata support in CentOS.
As has emerged from the '[CentOS] SMART for SATA devices ?' thread, the just released 2.6.9-34 kernel that ships with EL4 U3 supports smart over libata (Red Hat backported this from 2.6.15) by using something like:
smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda
I'm mentioning it here for future Google reference :)
