Re: Disk drive types: 59C9, 59E1, 5B13

But the serial number is unique, right?  I should be able to use the 
serial number to uniquely identify a specific physical disk drive.  Then 
I can figure out which ones are assigned to which partition and move 
from there.

Is there a list somewhere for those suffixes?  I see -050, -099 and -109.  I can go into SST when I get a chance to figure out my RAID settings, but the suffixes seem to be a good shortcut.
