What sort of ‘physical disk’ information are you looking for?

You will need to write a pattern to do this. How to discover this information will depend upon the operating system.

For example, linux you can could find this information with fdisk -l, of Windows with a WMI query to get Win32_DiskDrive.

The first step would be to try to figure out if it is a physical or NAS/SAN.  I am having a hard time figuring that one out.  Once I get that far, disk size is easy, but serial number might be tricky.  I’ll see what I can find.
