Yeah wasn't it something like SATA and USB got lumped in with the ~~SATA~~ SCSI storage controller or whatever which is why it's practically all /dev/sdx? Back in the days of yore when men were men and sheep were scared there'd be /dev/hdx and /dev/fdx for hard and floppy drives?

/dev/sdx wasn't originally for SATA, it was for SCSI drives. Back when men were men indeed!

That is correct, unlike my typo.

Yes, /dev/hdX was IDE disks.
