This is FC3 but I think the same things work in FC4:

Note sda and sdb are SATA drives, but show up as SCSI
st0 is a genuine SCSI DAT drive on a PCI host adapter
sdc is a USB memory stick
sdd is an ATA drive in an external USB box
You can also learn a lot from $ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
But I agree there is not one single place where all this information
is assembled into a coherent presentation.
