Odd. When you add a harddisk to your system, you can retrieve information
about it either before partitioning it or afterwards, too. If not via
kernel messages, run command-line tools such as hdparm or smartctl. They
print details. You may need to install missing packages for these tools.

Examples:

hdparm -i /dev/sda
smartctl -i /dev/sda
