I'm seeing:
sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 Model=SAMSUNG HD501LJ                         , FwRev=CR100-10,
SerialNo=S0MUJ1KP203268

cfdisk 2.12r

                                                 Disk Drive: /dev/sda
                                          Size: 500107862016 bytes, 500.1 GB
                                 Heads: 255   Sectors per Track: 63
Cylinders: 60801

Getting a bit noiser with age FWIW.  Wisper quiet when new.  Probably still
wouldn't be able to hear it if you have a system with a fan in it though.
