The output of "hdparm -i" is the correct .. humanreadable one.

       -i     Display  the  identification info that was obtained
              from the drive at boot time, if available.  This is
              a feature of modern IDE drives, and may not be sup�
              ported by older devices.  The data returned may  or
              may  not  be  current,  depending on activity since
              booting the system.  However, the current  multiple
              sector  mode  count  is  always  shown.  For a more
              detailed interpretation of the identification info,
              refer  to  AT  Attachment Interface for Disk Drives
              (ANSI ASC X3T9.2 working draft, revision 4a,  April
              19/93).

       -I     Request   identification  info  directly  from  the
              drive, which is displayed in its raw form  with  no
              endian  changes  or corrections.  Otherwise similar
              to the -i option.
