How do you get a hard drive’s serial number? Is it different for SCSI vs IDE vs SATA vs SSD? What if it’s connected over USB or Firewire? What about memory sticks?

• Several programs at delphi components

• HDD internal serial number (not Volume) ^[ 1 ] was http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Pascal/Q_20585823.html

Most tools like these just parse through /proc/scsi... or /sys/block...

• sdparm ^[ 2 ] was http://sg.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html

• scsiinfo – a SCSI information tool for Solaris systems
