How to check hard disk specifications

[bdacasc]

Hello
I would like to know how to determine exakt disk specifcations on a system.
I know that I can find Serial of the disk under Volumes, View Disk
That is just the serials. It really dosent say what disk is installed.

Do I need to go to the CLI ?
If so what command do I need to enter to get the full specification.

How would You proceed?

It's a very weird question.

The best way would be to open an SSH session and type:

Code:

smartctl -a /dev/adaX

where adaX is the ID for the drive you want to know stuff about.

One of the first things in the report is the drive's model. Use that to google your drive. Examine the rest of the report.

Repeat the process for all drives.

All my drives are daX rather than adaX. Other people's may be too.
