Some ways to get the hard drive make and model.

Rinndalir · 09-01-2016, 06:09 PM

I know of these:

Code:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

cat /sys/devices/pcixxxx:xx/xxxx:xx:xx.x/atax/hostx/targetx:x:x/x:x:x:x/wwid

hdparm -i /dev/sdo

Are there other ways?

STDOUBT · 09-01-2016, 06:19 PM

Code:

# smartctl -i /dev/sda

(As root of course)

Rinndalir · 09-02-2016, 03:59 PM

Forgot about that one. FWIW the three I posted don't require root. Well they might on some systems but it depends.

Code:

dmesg|grep ata

Or similar?

May I ask why? I thought you were looking at ways of finding out the hard drive make and model on your currently running install? If it doesn't work on your system then it doesn't work on your system, not sure why my telling you I have a Toshiba and a Seagate plugged in to this system will help?
Still, happy to oblige...

It's more than just the make/model, that's the point. You'd need to sort the HDDs out.

Please ask what you actually want to ask then. You are not helping yourself or anybody else by asking one question then changing it to something else.

Richard Cranium · 09-03-2016, 09:04 PM

Your answer was similar to saying "Google 'hard drive'. Your model is in the output somewhere."

In what way? The question was which commands give information regarding the make and model of the hard drive, just running the command I gave is pretty self-explanatory.
If you're unconvinced read the output I posted and look for names of manufacturers.
I apologise if I missed some condition that the answers muse be given in a particular format or obvious to people who have never used Linux.

For completeness, since it seems I misread this as a casual question on a site for people using Linux to help each other rather than a customer service query by a customer you could do the following:

Code:

dmesg|grep ATA-
[    5.044300] ata4.00: ATA-9: WDC WD30EZRZ-00Z5HB0, 80.00A80, max UDMA/133
[    5.045103] ata3.00: ATA-8: TOSHIBA DT01ACA300, MX6OABB0, max UDMA/133
[    5.055525] ata1.00: ATA-8: OCZ-AGILITY3, 2.25, max UDMA/133
[    5.058772] ata2.00: ATA-8: OCZ-VERTEX3, 2.28.20, max UDMA/133

My apologies for expecting people to understand what grep was doing, read the output, then make changes themselves. I realise now that I am not being paid to give ideas but to give accurate solutions to the customers.

Edit: Oh, no, terribly sorry again I need to point out that this only works for SATA drives and that the manufacturer names will be those given by the drives and may not be spelled out or capitalised correctly. If any customer needs these translating I would be happy to google it for them. I am sorry I suggested that anybody ought to do any of my work themselves.

I assume he's just scraping for data, as I've read another thread where he's advocating IP address and geolocation be public on LQ.

Might be lack of cd/dvd rom support in your kernel.

Huh what, you'd need to replace those xs with the correct targets.

Double huh what. Doesn't look like a slackware command but any way it doesn't return make/model.
