Nice find, Phil. this one looks familar but tried it anyway. It gives serial number but not the model number.
It gives a little more info than my original post but otherwise not real bad.
techidave:
Don't know how portable in practice it is, but Crystal Disk Info allows to unzipped and run from a directory.
It looks like it'll do what you want as long as you don't use the "Startup" or "Event Log" features.
Oh, and it's freeware. :)

Right now, this one is in the lead. It gives all other S.M.A.R.T. info that could be useful. it also gave the buffer size but not the rotational speed.
I will keep looking
Target:
FWIW, there is a free version of SIW, and it's a green file (no install)
here's another one - HDD Scan
also appears to be free and no install (unpack and go), I found it at HDD Guru
it appears to include the drive RPM, though it didn't report it on my laptop...
