Getting Disk Info

 
 df -h
 fdisk -l hdparm -i device (probably /dev/hda)
 Using the 'sudo hdparm -i /sda' command I was able to get the following data:
 /dev/sda:   Model=WDC, FwRev=01.04A01, SerialNo=WD-WXEY07X26552  Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec SpinMotCtl Fixed DTR>5Mbs FmtGapReq }  RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=50  BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=8192kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16  CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=312581808  IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}  PIO modes:  pio0 pio3 pio4   DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2   UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5   AdvancedPM=yes: unknown setting WriteCache=enabled  Drive conforms to: Unspecified:  ATA/ATAPI-1,2,3,4,5,6,7   * signifies the current active mode 
 However, this didn't work for the new Fantom Drives.  I get the following error instead:
 /dev/sdb:  HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange  HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument 

I would guess that this has something to do with it being a USB drive.

Will this be fixed by USB3?

How did linux know if was a Fantom Drive?

USB Info

Using 'lsusb --verbose' I still don't see anything that would enable to ID drive.
