Nor do I.  Maybe there's some SCSI command that we can send that is
well defined enough to work often enough.

However, I'm not clueful enough about SCSI to know if this can be done
(likely reading some mode page will do it in real SCSI), nor about
USB's mass storage devices, nor about all the wonderful and weird
variations that one might find in the wild...
