Freecom hard drive information

blackster · 7 Jan 2008 at 11:11

Hi Everyone, i've just purchased a Freecom external 500gb pro hard drive (usb2.0/sAta) etc

I would like to know what hard drive is contained inside (without opening it up)

I have contacted freecom, they said it could be 1 of three brands, is there any software that can give me the information i want as when I perform a detailed search in windows all it gives me is "freecom pro" as the name

Thanks in advance

Is the drive model name reported under Disk Drives in Device Manager or in the Safely Remove Hardware list?

all it says in the device manager is : freecom hard drive pro usb

in the safely remove hard drive list it's just listed as USB mass storage device

Done that and where it says Manufacturer it says (standard disk drives)

Generic volume is also displayed under the drive when the box is ticked :confused:
