Assuming you mean a hard disk, if you can run smartmontools, this is from smartctl(8): -i, --info Prints the device model number, serial number, firmware version, and ATA Standard version/revision information. Says if the device supports SMART, and if so, whether SMART support is cur- rently enabled or disabled. If the device supports Logical Block Address mode (LBA mode) print current user drive capacity in bytes. (If drive is has a user protected area reserved, or is "clipped", this may be smaller than the potential maximum drive capacity.) Indicates if the drive is in the smartmontools data- base (see '-v' options below). If so, the drive model family may also be printed. If '-n' (see below) is specified, the power mode of the drive is printed.
