The utility hdparm is IMHO the best tool for this job. Simply run as follows:

sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda

and you will have more than enough information on your HDD. There are many options available (see in the reference at the base of this post), I have given:

-I   Detailed/current information directly from drive

hdparm is part of a default installation on Trusty Tahr so no extra installation required...
