How To Access Installed HDD Brand Info

I would like to access the informations on the HDD that is installed in my computer. Does anyone know how to find it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are several ways to obtain HDD information.  Here's one:
From the Start Menu, enter   system information     in the search field.  Or you can access it directly from the "run" dialog like this:
Enter <win>r     (press and hold down the Win key, then press the r key)
In the "run" dialog field, enter this     msinfo32
You should see this appear on your screen.  Expand the "Storage" tree on the left side.  Click on the "disks" section.
Here's my Win 7x64 PC info showing my Seagate HDD part number info:
 Here's a link to a free .exe download from Seagate that is a fast way to return basic info on HDD's:

Here's what my Desktop PC HDD info dialog screen looks like when I run  drivedetect:
 Speccy is a great free download tool which is another way to access HDD information along with many other aspects of your PC's hardware and software infornation.

Here's part of my screencap showing my Storage screen from Speccy:
 Another option is another freeware called GSmartControl.  Here's the link:

GSmartControl has a nice Smart HDD interface report option and you can run some HDD tests with the program.
Here's what my "Identify" tab information looks like for my Seagate "C" HDD:

  • How to access installed Add-ons like OneTab?

    I have installed OneTab to my Firefox am unsure how it works as I can't find the icon/button/shortcut to access it. It is showing as 'Enabled' in the Extensions list.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot again for the suggestions.
    I did go through the OneTab Help page and the following options are available to access/disply OneTab.
    1. The icon on the Toolbar (In my case this neither shows nor lets me add it from the List)
    2. The OneTab right click menu (In my case, there is no Onetab menu in the default Right Click menu)
    3. Keyboard Shortcut - Alt + Shift + 1 (This doesn’t work as well)
    I had written to the OneTab team (Onetab.com/feedback) twice and am yet to receive a reply from them. In the ‘Add-Ons’ page, I have now removed all other extensions and OneTab is showing as enabled.
    It could be a setting that is preventing OneTab to alter the Toolbars as Gnospen is suggesting and this point brings to my notice an update on the OneTab Info (in the ‘Add-Ons’ page) that was added in Nov 2014:
    ''A small minority of people are seeing a blank page instead of their OneTab tabs. This does *not* mean that you have lost them. They are still stored in Firefox, but something is preventing the OneTab extension from loading properly. Please try going to the Add-Ons menu option in Firefox and temporarily disabling all add-ons except OneTab and then restarting Firefox. This should allow OneTab to load normally. We are also looking into an alternate solution for those this does not work for. ''
    Just for the record, I have already tried the following:
    • Disabled all other extensions but Onetab and restarted Firefox.
    • Removed all other extensions but OneTab and and restarted Firefox.
    • Removed all extensions including OneTab and re-installed just OneTab after restarting Firefox.
    • I removed Firfox and re-installed it and re-installed just OneTab.
    Thanks.

  • How to access Linux HDD?

    Hi, after my NAS (Qnap) crashed I want to hook up the HDD to my Mac. I want to recover the data with a SATA to USB adapter. Which software is needed to access the Linux based file system?
    Thanks for your help!

    If your NAS is using an ext2, 3 or 4 filesystem, you need an application to read and write in it like Paragon ExtFS > http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-mac/

  • How i can install Mavericks on new HDD because my mac hdd broken

    i have macbook pro A1286 hard disk damage . i buy new HDD and fix it on my mac , then how i can install Mavericks ?
    i try many times but i cant finish this problem because i cant access to disk utilities or recovery mood because already the hdd is new&empty .
    Please Help
    [email protected]
    Thanks

    It's going to be impossible to install Mavericks unless you have a working Mavericks-USB-installer or an  "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" that YOU have downloaded from the App Store in the past.
    You should use a Snow Leopard install DVD to install 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on your Mac. From there, you can use your  "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" to install Mavericks. If you don't have that, you can download and install Yosemite from the Mac App Store instead.
    If you don't have either a Snow Leopard install DVD or a custom made Mavericks-installer-USB, you should call Apple and buy a Snow Leopard install DVD from them. They're still for sale.
    The other option is to use another, still functioning, Mac and connect the two using a firewire cable. Then you can use Target Disk Mode to install Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac http://support.apple.com/nl-nl/ht1661

  • How can I install a fresh OS on my 13" macbook. It has a New HDD and I have no install discs. It is a Mid 2010 Model

    Can anyone tell me How I can install a new operating system on a new HDD of my Macbook Mid 2010 model. I don't have another Mac to use, I only have a PC, I also don't have access to any discs or bootable USB's.

    Thanks for the quick response guys. The fulll story is, I bought the machine as not working from eBay with no HDD. It was listed as water damaged. Im competent at fixing water damage and got the machine up and running again in no time. I put a HDD in that I had lying around that was working last time I checked with hope of being able to format it using a recovery USB download from Apple and then going from there but I can't even get that far. Looking at the model release time it seems it would have been released with Snow Leopard so it makes sense that i'd need to get a disk. Unless you have any other suggestions?

  • I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

    I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files? Does using time machine mean that that partition is no longer able to be used as it used to be?
    HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.
    OS X version 10.9.2

    Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.
    Now
    Have you tried to repair the disk yet

  • How can I install logic pro 7.2 (made for power pc) on a brand new Macbook pro?

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

    You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
    When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
    You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.
