If the hard disk supports SMART (most do), you can use the smartctl utility (available from the sysutils/smartmontools [[ports tree | port]]) to extract the model numbers. Running '''smartctl -i /dev/ad4''' as root on my system gives output like this:<br /> === START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===<br /> Device Model: WDC WD2500JB-00EVA0<br /> Serial Number: WD-WCAEH1028140<br /> Firmware Version: 15.05R15<br /> Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]<br /> ATA Version is: 6<br /> ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated<br /> Local Time is: Thu Dec 22 10:48:33 2005 CST<br /> SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.<br /> SMART support is: Enabled<br /> <br /> [[Category:New_User_Tips_and_FAQs]]<br /> [[Category:Common Tasks]]<br /> [[Category:Ports and Packages]]<br /> [[Category:FreeBSD for Servers]]</div>
