Question How can I get hardware information about my hard drive?


I don't have the option of removing my hard drive right now.

From the terminal in arch linux, how can I find out the cache and buffer size and other information. I would like to know the exact specifications for my hard drive.

As root (assuming the disk is /dev/sda):
Code:
hdparm -I /dev/sda
hdparm -tT /dev/sda
