FWIW the command "lshw" will also show motherboard make/model and a whole
lot of other very verbose information about system hardware. It describes
my motherboard this way:
description: Motherboard
product: GA-MA770-UD3
vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
lshw is not a standard package, I think. Install with "yum install lshw".
And yeah, what the other guy said about the limitations of mechanical hard
drives is very true. Those Western Digital Green drives are rated at
~110-120 MB/s sustained.
