Not sure about the question being asked.

That information is likely stored on the motherboard via CMOS.

Not on the drives....

What are you trying to accomplish?

Drive info is actually stored on the drive.

For instance, the SMART data is in hidden tracks (I think) on the physical drive.


But yes...what is the OP wanting to do with this info?
