Looking for a tool that like CPU-Z, but for Hard Drive detection of SN, Make/Model, etc.

Hi, I am looking for a tool similar to CPU-Z, but for Hard Drive detection of Make/Model, SN, Firmware, etc.

Anyone know of such a tool or if it even exists?

I don't want to have to install a tool to run it, but rather run it from a USB stick or network drive, like I do CPU-Z too.

Thanks.

Oh, forgot...I need it to detect the HDDs in a RAID. Other than turning off the server and pulling the drive out to see what model it is, I am not sure other than some kind of software tool that can do the same without turning off the server.

Thanks.

I have done that for some of the Intel RAIDs, but others don't have it unless I restart the server and access the RAID BIOS configuration.

Well, what started this whole process, is recently I have discovered our sales rep has been selling us desktop SATA drives for our servers. Of course, I am a bit disturbed by this discovery and now I want to see how many of my servers are running these non-enterprise SATA drives.

Thanks anyways.
