You need to use the smartctl command to display the hard disk (SSD) serial numbers in Linux. This is useful when changing your hard disk if it goes bad. cyberciti.biz/faq/search-findi

@nixCraft dmidecode also does this, I think (haven't got a console to try right now).

@nixCraft lsblk also does it concisely, ie:

lsblk -d -o NAME,SERIAL

@nixCraft Today's command is fsck /dev/sda1

Didn't realize how old the drive in my room was until it died tonight. Yes, I have 2 backups! 😁

@nixCraft need a couple more?
hdparm -I /dev/sda
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep sda
