Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has discovered any nice tricks to assist in
identification of hdd devices.
I have an 8 bay hotswap array, pretty lights and have been wondering
what others out there might be doing to determine which disk in an
array is which.

Considering you can see HDD LEDs blinking, something like:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null


should help you identify the disk :)
