Sep 25, 2020 at 20:16 comment added DustWolf lshw returns all disks. You can filter the output conveniently using jq, like this: lshw -C disk -json | jq 'select(.logicalname="/dev/sda")'.
May 28, 2019 at 15:09 comment added s.co.tt Use hdparm -I /dev/sd? | grep --before-context=4 'Serial\ Number' to correlate the serial number with the device. It looks like the original question requests that result.

Mar 30, 2016 at 16:40 comment added niieani Does not work if your hard disk has died completely and you're looking for the serial number of the faulty unit. Use @Johann's method instead.
Jan 20, 2016 at 13:46 comment added Loopo if you take out the 'grep' part, you will get the full info as in hdparm -I /dev/sd?
