How to ID drive serial # from GUI?

[Inquixative]

Anyone know of a way to view a hard drive's unique serial number from the desktop? I'm not talking about "device ID", and obviously I know that I can open up the case and see the serial number on the drive.

Have you tried googling it?

Speccy is a good tool for getting system/hardware information- and they're updating it pretty regularly (it's a relatively new tool, but it does a fantastic job)

but yeah, use Google before wasting time/space here on the forum

IGWS. Obviously I previously Googled to no avail.
Nice tool, but it only provides drive device ID's - no serial numbers.

or you could do this if you wanted something simple

HDDSerial.vbs

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_PhysicalMedia",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
    Wscript.Echo "SerialNumber: " & objItem.SerialNumber
Next
