Here it is:

  # sg_readcap -l /dev/sdc
  Read Capacity results:
     Protection: prot_en=0, p_type=0, p_i_exponent=0
     Logical block provisioning: lbpme=0, lbprz=0
     Last LBA=3907029167 (0xe8e088af), Number of logical blocks=3907029168
     Logical block length=512 bytes
     Logical blocks per physical block exponent=0
     Lowest aligned LBA=0
  Hence:
     Device size: 2000398934016 bytes, 1907729.1 MiB, 2000.40 GB, 2.00 TB
