Possible to check hard drive type on VPS?

[Wambo]

Is it possible to check what sort of hard drive my VPS provider is using? I can't find the thread but someone was checking the CPU information for their provider and it made me wonder if I could do the same on a VPS for hard drives or even see what sort of raid card was being used. Is this possible?

In most virtual servers, the drives and drivers are emulated.  I don't think there would be any way of you seeing anything beyond the device they provide to you.

Unlike CPU, hard disks are completely emulated, the newer ones even being emulated in 2 levels (see ploop)

So, the only reliable way to know is ask your provider (if they are ready to answer)
