Arthur, 

That should all be detailed in the BIOS. You could even download a program
called Hardtune, which will tell you al lthat kinad thing too.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Determine the hard drive type without opening the box

A while back I started a thread about determining the CPU type without
opening the box, and received several good answers. Now I'm wondering
whether I can determine the type of hard drive(s) installed -- maker, size,
rpm, IDE or SCSI or SATA, etc.

Anyone know?

TIA,
Arthur
