When getting firmware version information about a hard disk, the following command reports incomplete information:
sudo lshw -C disk
Here is example output:
*-disk
description: ATA Disk
product: INTEL SSDSA2M040
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@2:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/sda
version: 2CV1
serial: CVGB036100TS040NGN
size: 37GiB (40GB) capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos configuration: ansiversion=5 signature=000daa5d
In the above output, "version: 2CV1" should have been "2CV102DH". In another system with a standard SATA disk (non-SSD), the version was also truncated by 4 characters.
Palimpsest (under (System > Administration > Disk Utility) reports the right information. See attached screenshot.
