How to get hard drive serial number from command line? The one I'm looking at is the serial number of the physical hard disk drive. Windows command-line. Share improve this question.

• • • A hard disk drive ( HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electromechanical that uses to store and retrieve information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks () coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with, usually arranged on a moving arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a manner, meaning that individual of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only. HDDs are a type of, retaining stored data even when powered off. Introduced by in 1956, HDDs became the dominant device for by the early 1960s. Continuously improved, HDDs have maintained this position into the modern era of.
More than 200 companies have produced HDDs historically, though after extensive industry consolidation most units are manufactured by,,. HDDs dominate the volume of storage produced ( per year) for. Though production is growing slowly, sales revenues and unit shipments are declining because (SSDs) have higher data-transfer rates, higher areal storage density, better reliability, and much lower latency and access times.
The revenues for SSDs, most of which use NAND, slightly exceed those for HDDs. Though SSDs have nearly 10 times higher cost per bit, they are replacing HDDs in applications where speed, power consumption, small size, and durability are important. The primary characteristics of an HDD are its capacity. Capacity is specified in corresponding to powers of 1000: a 1- (TB) drive has a capacity of 1,000 (GB; where 1 gigabyte = 1 billion ). Typically, some of an HDD's capacity is unavailable to the user because it is used by the and the computer, and possibly inbuilt redundancy for and recovery.
Also there is confusion regarding storage capacity, since capacities are stated in decimal Gigabytes (powers of 10) by HDD manufacturers, whereas some operaring systems report capacities in binary Gibibytes, which results in a smaller number than advertised. Performance is specified by the time required to move the heads to a track or cylinder (average access time) adding the time it takes for the desired sector to move under the head (average, which is a function of the physical in ), and finally the speed at which the data is transmitted (data rate). The two most common for modern HDDs are 3.5-, for desktop computers, and 2.5-inch, primarily for laptops. HDDs are connected to systems by standard cables such as (Parallel ATA), (Serial ATA), or SAS () cables.

It was approximately the size of two medium-sized refrigerators and stored five million six-bit characters (3.75 ) on a stack of 50 disks. In 1962, the IBM 350 was superseded by the IBM 1301 disk storage unit, which consisted of 50 platters, each about 1 / 8-inch thick and 24 inches in diameter.
While the IBM 350 used only two read/write heads, the 1301 used an array of heads, one per platter, moving as a single unit. Read/write operations were supported, and the heads flew about 250 micro-inches (about 6 µm) above the platter surface. Motion of the head array depended upon a binary adder system of hydraulic actuators which assured repeatable positioning.

The 1301 cabinet was about the size of three home refrigerators placed side by side, storing the equivalent of about 21 million eight-bit bytes. Access time was about a quarter of a second. Also in 1962, IBM introduced the disk drive, which was about the size of a washing machine and stored two million characters on a removable. Users could buy additional packs and interchange them as needed, much like reels of.
