by “what hard drive kind” do you mean IDE, SATA, SCSI etc?

and explore under /dev/sd*, /dev/hd* etc

and, under Hardware Information > Disk AND/OR > IDE

there is probably a command line magic, but i don’t know it…

but, if by “what hard drive kind” do you mean Seagate, Western
Digital, IBM, etc then i think you need to pop the case open and
take a peek…

Another one:

hdparm -i /dev/sda
