I always wonder what kind of SSD my computer has, especially when I haven't tinkered with the hardware for a while. Was it a NVME or SATA? What brand and model?
Linus has a simple command line that shows this:
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MODEL,TRAN
This will spit out a nice overview, something like this:
NAME SIZE MODEL TRAN
nvme0n1 953.9G Lexar SSD NM790 1TB nvme
├─nvme0n1p1 1007K nvme
├─nvme0n1p2 1G nvme
└─nvme0n1p3 952.9G nvme
├─pve-swap 8G
├─pve-root 200G
├─pve-data_tmeta 6.5G
│ └─pve-data-tpool 637G
│ ├─pve-data 637G
│ ├─pve-vm--301--disk--0 4G
...
│ └─pve-vm--308--disk--0 16G
└─pve-data_tdata 637G
└─pve-data-tpool 637G
├─pve-data 637G
├─pve-vm--301--disk--0 4G
...
└─pve-vm--308--disk--0 16G
(removed some lines)
MODEL and TRAN give you brand, model and size, where as TRAN gives you the type.
In this example a 1Tb NVME SSD. 😊
If the TRAN column lists "sata" then it would have been a SATA SSD.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
