From the Disk Utility GUI I can pick a physical disk and then click info and I get a Media name of ST325062 4NS Media (this happens to be disk4)

From the command line I can do diskutil info disk4 and it gives me the 4NS but not the ST325062 (or the Media but that might not be different between disks).

Can I get the ST325062 from the command line. It appears the full model number for the disk is ST3250624NS (see attached pic) enter image description here

diskutil info diskN gives me the full (according to Disk Utility) name except for the "Media" at the end, so I'm not sure why it's not showing on your system. Try system_profiler SPStorageDataType and system_profiler SPSerialATADataType (or whatever the drive's interface is -- use system_profiler -listDataTypes to get a list). You can also get the relevant info from ioreg, but I'm not sure how to find it consistently.

  • system_profiler SPStorageDataType gave me Media Name: ST325062 4NS Media. I guess, in this case, I have a USB to SATA connector. Curiously, system_profiler SPUSBDataType gives me just the 4NS.
