Subject: [Bug 209089] USB storage devices appear as SATA devices
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2020 15:03:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-209089-208809-om5xtTsIHm@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

--- Comment #7 from Alan Stern (stern@rowland.harvard.edu) ---
The original premise of the bug description is wrong.

Firstly, the "sd*" moniker does not refer to the type of drive.  Rather, it
refers to which kernel driver is managing the drive.  Both SCSI disks and USB
disks use the SCSI sd driver; hence they should share the same moniker.

Secondly, the mere fact that the names are similar doesn't make it impossible
to distinguish one type of transport from the other.  The information is
readily available in sysfs.

Thirdly, Manish seems to think there's some important difference between SATA
disk drives and USB disk drives.  That's not so; in fact, many USB drives
actually are SATA drives attached via a USB-SATA adapter.
