disk errors, how to determine which slot

I recently uploaded a qkview file into iHeatlh and found out there were several errors in the logs concerning disk /dev/sdb.

 

Below the messages reported in iHealth.

 

 

Errors were found for the following devices: /dev/sdb

 

 

Additional Information The /var/log/kern.log.1_transformed file contains 18 '{ DRDY ERR }' messages.

 

 

daemon.log:

 

crit smartd[4902]: Device: /dev/sdb, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

 

 

 

According to iHealth we needed to RMA the disk, which we did and we received a new disk.

 

The problem now is how can we determine in which slot the disk /dev/sdb is located.

 

 

We tried several linux commands from the CLI but couldn't find a relation between sdb and slot or serial nr.

 

 

Who's knows how to find out which disk to pull?
