Discussion about "Hard Disks"
The SATA interface allows to connect SSD (solid state drives) which are technically not "Hard disks" - the Hard Disk has historically been spinning rust.
- I wonder if we could rename this section to "Storage", "SATA Storage" or "HDD/SSD". I've no idea what's better.
- The second issue is that it's not too difficult to show SATA disks real names instead of showing
/dev/sda
,/dev/sdb
, etc. which are quite non-descriptive.
You can fetch it by reading (if it exists): /sys/block/sda/device/model
