    I learned the very useful command (here in one of these Sun newsgroups):

            iostat -nE

    tells you about all SCSI (all I have, and others?) devices, including
    disks, CDs, tapes. Lists info about each device, like so:

    c0t0d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
    Vendor: IBM Product: DNES30917SUN9.0G Revision: SAD0 Serial No: 99451SB421
    Size: 9.06GB <9055065600 bytes>
    Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
    Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

    filter output to taste. Then prtvtoc (as root) can tell you more. etc.
