Under current kernels, most all drives should use the sdx naming convention - IDE, PATA, SATA and even, I believe, SCSI. I think SCSI was the first to use this name, but I don't have a SCSI machine powered up right now to check. |

If your system is showing a drive as /dev/hdx then there's something wrong. I didn't think this was even allowed under current kernels / udev. |
