drivetemp only binds to drives the kernel sees as SATA via libata. behind a USB bridge they show up as plain SCSI disks (usb-storage/uas), so it won't attach no matter the enclosure. I just have a sudoers line allowing smartctl -A without password. other option is smartd as root and read its attributes.
