Clone - Copy NT disk signature - Properties of disks

Thread needs solution

Hello,

Acronis Disk Director 12 in the disk cloning function has a option: "copy disk NT signature".
It would be good that this option is also included in the Acronis True Image cloning function.

When cloning operations, eg to update a previously cloned disk, nothing allows to know with certainty what is the source disk and what is the destination disk.
There is no option to view the properties of the disks.
Thus should be added for both Acronis Disk Director and Acronis True Image, a viewing option of particular features of discs: model, PN and especially SN.
Indeed, the only difference between identical drives purchased together is only the SN.
For example, two discs Seagates Barracuda 2 GB have exactly the same identifications:
MODEL: ST2000DM001
PN: 1CH164
By showing that MODEL-PN (as in the BIOS) it is impossible to know the disk.
Only SN differ Z1E5JS14, Z4Z59F9N
It is therefore essential to show in Disk Properties option: MODEL-PN-SN
