The SCSI solution requires making sure that you have the right terminator connector because of course there's more than one standard .. ask me how I know .. I think the Wikipedia article on SCSI says it best:
Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_connector
Only if you're working with SCSI hardware. On Linux, SATA (and probably PATA) devices use the same kernel driver as SCSI, and appear on the system as SCSI hosts. You can find them in
/sys/class/scsi_diskor by runninglsblk -o NAME,HCTL.
