Solution:

Hello,

“lshal” provides that info

Scroll through the lshal output to find the entry for your drive. This is how it looks here:

udi = ‘/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7170S’
block.device = ‘/dev/sr0′  (string)
block.is_volume = false  (bool)
block.major = 11  (0xb)  (int)
block.minor = 0  (0×0)  (int)
block.storage_device = ‘/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7170S’  (string)
….
storage.cdrom.write_speeds = {‘8467′, ‘7056′, ‘5645′, ‘4234′, ‘2822′, ‘1411′} (string list)
storage.drive_type = ‘cdrom’  (string)
storage.firmware_version = ‘1.82′  (string)
