What is your operating system? The simplest way would be to find the device's model using the appropriate tools and then search the manufacturer's website for specifications. – iglvzx Dec 23 '11 at 19:39

To find your hard drive's model number:

Method 1:

Open the Device Manager in the Control Panel or Run devmgmt.msc.
Under Disk drives you will see your hard drive's model number.
Enter this information into your favorite search engine.
Find the specifications on the manufacturer's website or from a seller.

Method 2:

Run msinfo32 to open System Information
Your hard drive's model will be under Components\Storage\Disks
See #3 above...
