How to check the hard disk type or model number if I can?

I tried 

[root@testing ~]# hdparm -i /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[root@testing ~]# smartctl -H /dev/sda1
smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen

SMART Health Status: OK

What else can I do? I need to know if it's SATA or SCSI, if it's RAID or the brand names like Seagate that kind of thing..
