Yeah, we found that command "hdparm -i /dev/sdc" always return faild for 
SATA HDD disk. as follows:
[root@...alhost ~]# hdparm -i /dev/sdc

/dev/sdc:
  HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument

trace log：
execve("/usr/sbin/hdparm", ["hdparm", "-i", "/dev/sdc"], 0xffffea26f620 
/* 42 vars */) = 0
ioctl(3, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, 0xffffeb435f28) = -1 ENOMSG (No message of 
desired type)

Thanks,
Xingui
