Linux lsscsi: See List Of All SCSI / SATA Hard Disks and CD / DVD Drives

To see a list of all SCSI and SATA hard disks and CD/DVD drives on a Linux system, you can use the lsscsi command. This command will show a list of all SCSI devices, including hard disks and CD/DVD drives, and their associated device names.

To run the lsscsi command, simply open a terminal and type lsscsi. The output will be a list of devices in the following format:

[TYPE] H:C:T:L  DEVICE

Where TYPE is the device type (e.g. disk for hard disks or cd/dvd for CD/DVD drives), H:C:T:L is the SCSI host, channel, target, and logical unit number, and DEVICE is the device name.

For example, the output might look something like this:

[3:0:0:0]  cd/dvd  TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162D  /dev/sr0
[3:0:1:0]  disk    WDC WD5000BPVT-22HXZT3  /dev/sda

This indicates that there is a CD/DVD drive at SCSI address 3:0:0:0 with device name /dev/sr0, and a hard disk at SCSI address 3:0:1:0 with device name /dev/sda.

You can also use the lsscsi command with the -g option to show the device model and vendor information. For example:

lsscsi -g

This will show the device model and vendor information in the output, in addition to the other device information.
