Take a look at /dev/disk/by-id/ for a semi-human readable name that you
can use in . Not sure how persistent those are though, since I think
udev generates the names.

smartctl -i /dev/sdX where X is your drive will show vendor specific
information about a drive like it's firmware, serial, model etc.
