SATA disk smart or not?

Hi,

I get contradictory messages about smart enabled for my SATA WD800JD-60LUA0. Running Sarge BTW.

When I do hdparm -I /dev/sda, I get:

=========================================
ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: ST380011A
Serial Number: 4JV6GCK4
Firmware Revision: 8.01
...
Commands/features:
Enabled Supported:
* READ BUFFER cmd
* WRITE BUFFER cmd
* Host Protected Area feature set
* Look-ahead
* Write cache
* Power Management feature set
Security Mode feature set
* SMART feature set
* FLUSH CACHE EXT command
* Mandatory FLUSH CACHE command
* Device Configuration Overlay feature set
* 48-bit Address feature set
SET MAX security extension
* DOWNLOAD MICROCODE cmd
* General Purpose Logging feature set
* SMART self-test
* SMART error logging
=============================================

But when I do smartctl -a /dev/sda, I get:

=============================================

Device: ATA WDC WD800JD-60LU Version: 07.0
Serial number: WD-WMAMD4147178
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Fri Mar 31 10:44:33 2006 CST
Device does not support SMART

==============================================

So what is it? Hdparm says yes and smartctl says no.

Any thoughts? That drive is brand new. I would be suprised if it did not support smart, but what do I know.
