lsscsi

$ lsscsi -s

try on your machine

The command "lsscsi -s" is used to list information about SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) devices attached to a Linux system. Here's a breakdown of its components:

"lsscsi" is the main command, which stands for "list SCSI devices." It is a tool commonly available in Linux distributions for querying and displaying information about attached SCSI devices.
"-s" is an option or flag that modifies the behavior of the "lsscsi" command. In this case, it instructs the command to provide a summarized output, rather than displaying detailed information about each device.

When you run "lsscsi -s" in a terminal or command prompt, it will display a compact summary of SCSI devices detected on your system. The output typically includes information like the device's host number, SCSI channel, target ID, LUN (Logical Unit Number), device type, and the vendor/model of the device. This summary allows you to quickly see and identify the attached SCSI devices without overwhelming you with excessive detail.
