That's because you have SATA drives according to fdisk below. These show up as serial devices, which will be "sd[x][#]", with [x] being your drive according to bios in alphabetical order, and the [#] being the partition number in order according to your partition table. I do not know why df is showing them as hda, but I know a few other utilities don't make this distinction either.
