How to find Storage Capacity on a Mac that is ready to sell and has no user account

I'm selling an old MacBook Air and have wiped it but forgot to get system profile information before I did so.

Most information I can get by booting in Single User mode and using terminal - e.g system_profiler SPHardwareDataType.

However, I cannot get the Hard Drive size. I have tried system_profiler SPStorageDataType but nothing comes up. Any ideas?

Hi,

Start up in Recovery mode and use DiskUtility to see storage capacity.
