Per my note, I'd already tried smartctl:

        evice Model:     ST9160823AS
        Serial Number:    5NK0CZ7N
        Firmware Version: 3.CMC
        User Capacity:    160,041,885,696 bytes
        Device is:        Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]

and dmesg:

wd0 at atabus0 drive 0: <ST9160823AS>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
wd0: 149 GB, 310101 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 312581808 sectors
wd0: 32-bit data port
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100)
