[CentOS] smartd and palimpsest

I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new
installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as
when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of
minutes ago.

So if smartd isn't running, where does palimpsest get its information from and
what is updating it?

Second question, what would enabling the smartd service gain me that I don't
have right now?
