Seeing the device name by df, is it somehow possible to resolve it to the physical drive name such as vendor / type./dev/sda3               915.4G     34.9G    880.0G   4% /share/HDA_DATA/dev/sdd3                 1.8T    668.1G      1.1T  36% /share/HDD_DATAI have learnt that I find some info in sys/block, but I do not find the vendor's type name in there?-- Added --My system is a Linux based QNAP NAS, so things might be a little different there. For me as a non Linux expert hard to tell, what is standard, and what not.-- Added as of Steven's answer --[~] # hdparm -I /dev/sdb3/dev/sdb3: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid argument
