Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Newer releases of Ubuntu and Debian do no longer include hddtemp as that tool is long dead upstream. Similar data can be obtained via smartctl or other more modern solutions. As hddtemp does no longer work on my system, drive temperatures are now gone from Glances, which makes me sad.

Describe the solution you'd like Write a drive temp plugin that utilizes smartctl or sensors to obtain drive temperatures (ideally compatible with external drives, too).

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually frickle together a working hddtemp solution, which is not a good solution.
