ls -l /dev/disk/by-path | grep 'ata-5'

To get the UUID:
  sudo dmsetup info /dev/dm-0 | grep UUID
then:
  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep the_uuid_from_above

To see the model and serial number of a particular
drive identifier eg sda1, use:
  ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
and look at the output for the symlinks that link to sda1.

But you don't have to do any of this to follow my
previous suggestion, just reseat *every* SATA connector,
at each end of the cable. Usually it's a simple, quick task.
