Can anyone confirm the number of blocks on a WD80EFZZ ?

[Smbaker]

The output of `sudo blockdev --getsz /dev/<devicenam>` in Linux would suffice. Basically i want to use these as spares for some older WD 8TB drives and want to make sure the block count is greater than or equal to the existing drives.

My existing 8TB drives, for example, are 15628053168 blocks = 8001563222016 bytes.

I looked on the WD data sheet, didn't see it there. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a database of such things.

Thanks,
Scott

This is what I have:

blockdev --getsz /dev/sdc
15628053168

There's a good chance you'll find that info googling 'smartctl + disk model or 8TB'
