I recently ordered an external hard drive. How do I find out the OEM of the actual hard drive inside the case? The only information Disk Utility/System Profiler gives me is "Oxford Semiconductor, Ltd".
under the ATA section in the hardware, I get the following (for my internal hd):
TOSHIBA MK1017GAP:
Capacityt9.37 GB
ModeltTOSHIBA MK1017GAP
RevisiontA4.01 B
Serial Numbert51678296T
Removable MediatNo
Detachable DrivetNo
BSD Nametdisk0
ProtocoltATA
Unit Numbert0
Socket TypetInternal
OS9 DriverstYes
I used to have an external hard drive like this and if I can remember correctly, the disk info was visible as well and would probably be listed under firewire...

Open the case?
Except that?
Not having one on hand, I can't check, but perhaps Apple System Profiler?

Doesn't it also list the Model number? Model number should tie to a specific manufacturer, I would guess.
