Explanation

'lsscsi -s' lists SCSI/SATA/NVMe storage devices along with their sizes (the -s flag adds size information). This makes it straightforward to identify a disk by its capacity (500G) and find its corresponding device name (e.g., /dev/sdb). 'fdisk -V' only displays the fdisk version. 'partprobe -a' informs the kernel of partition table changes but does not list devices. 'lsusb -t' lists USB devices in a tree view and would not show internal SCSI/SATA disks.
