The command scsiinfo lists information about a SCSI device. With the option -l, list all SCSI devices known to the system (similar information is obtained via the command lsscsi). The following is the output of scsiinfo -i /dev/sda, which gives information about a hard disk. The option -a gives even more information.

linux:/ # scsiinfo -i /dev/sda

The option -d puts out a defects list with two tables of bad blocks of a hard disk: first the one supplied by the vendor (manufacturer table) and second the list of bad blocks that appeared in operation (grown table). If the number of entries in the grown table increases, it might be a good idea to replace the hard disk.
