If you use a generic case then you're going to have to gather the info outside.
Some suggestions:
Onenote or similar - use the rectangle tool to sketch up some rectangles of your drive bays and then type/write out the serial numbers and other info. I record manufacture date, when I installed it, where I bought it from, the part number, the serial number and sometimes a comment like "ironwolf pro orange logo sticker."
If you use a SAS HBA with breakout cables you may be able to identify them by port. Ie HP P822 tells you I:1:0 for internal port 1, breakout cable 0/1, E:2:1 for external port 2, breakout cable 2/1.
