How do I find the Serial Number of a USB Drive?

"Use the freeware USBDeview:

USBDeview is a small utility that
lists all USB devices that currently
connected to your computer, as well as
all USB devices that you previously
used. For each USB device, exteneded
information is displayed: Device
name/description, device type, serial
number (for mass storage devices), the
date/time that device was added,
VendorID, ProductID, and more...
USBDeview also allows you to uninstall
USB devices that you previously used,
and disconnect USB devices that are
currently connected to your computer.
You can also use USBDeview on a remote
computer, as long as you login to that
computer with admin user."

"Get USB Serial Numbers on Windows with PowerShell

Here's a PowerShell solution that will give you the serial number of all ""USB Mass Storage Devices"" mounted on the system which you run it. It uses Get-CIMInstance to query the Win32_PnPSignedDriver class to get the property values with filtering, looping, setting a couple variables, using a method, etc.

Within the PowerShell script below, I left some commented out logic and comments for running with the legacy Get-WMIObject cmdlet for systems with versions below PowerShell 3.0.

PowerShell

$DevId = (((Get-CimInstance -Class win32_PnPSignedDriver) | ?{($_.Description -like '*mass*')}).DeviceID);
$DevSerial = @($DevId | %{$_.Split('\')[2]});
$DevSerial

##### // Everything below is commented out with comments for each section \\ #####

## -- See everything or the selected properties per above
#((Get-CimInstance -Class win32_PnPSignedDriver) | ?{($_.Description -like '*mass*')}) |
#Select Description, DeviceClass, DeviceID, Manufacturer

## -- Correlated legacy PS code older than PowerShell version 3
#$DevId = ((Get-WmiObject Win32_USBControllerDevice | %{[wmi]($_.Dependent)} | ?{($_.Description -like '*mass*')}).DeviceID);
#$DevSerial = @($DevId | %{$_.Split('\')[2]});
#$DevSerial

## -- See everything or selected properties per above legacy PS code
#Get-WmiObject Win32_USBControllerDevice | %{[wmi]($_.Dependent)} | ?{($_.Description -like '*mass*')} |
#Select Description, DeviceID, Manufacturer, Service

Edit: Unfortunately I have no idea where he got this IDs from, bu the 'Device Instance Id' is the closest guess I have:

USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_&PROD_USB_DISK_2.0&REV_PMAP\07960501655B0CEE&0

It should be the last part after the \ and without the &0"

"On linux you can simply do,

lsusb -v

It will print all information about usb devices along with serial number also."
