title: Linux RHEL - Find disk type
body: <p>I have Oracle Linux Server release 5.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6) and I want to check if the disk type is SATA, SCSI, ATA or SAS or any other disk type. </p>
  
  <p>I installed lshw (hardware lister) and executing "lshw -class storage" gives the below output</p>
  
  <pre><code>   description: SCSI storage controller
     product: 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this mean this is a SCSI disk type? 
  How do you find out if the disk type is SAS?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
