Sectors written in hex:
current capacity is 78140160 sectors would be 0x000004A85300
native capacity is 185074430006016 sectors would be 0xA852FFA85300
0x37 is READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS EXT, which is the 48-bit version of
the command to figure out how big the drive "really" is. It appears
that model of drive indicated support for 48-bit commands, but then
aborted the 48-bit version of READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS.
Is it really a 40GB drive?
