On my FUJITSU MHV2060BH (so, not a Seagate):

dmesg | grep wd0 gives:

wd0 at atabus1 drive 0: <FUJITSU MHV2060BH>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
wd0: 57241 MB, 116301 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 117231408 sectors
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100)
wd0(ahcisata0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5
(Ultra/100) (using DMA)
boot device: wd0
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b

Definitely a Seagate. Dmesg should tell you the exact model number.
