How do I determine properties of disks from a live USB?
Solution 1:
Linux has heaps of tools to list the details of the hardware.
Here is a non-exhaustive list : lscpu (CPU), lshw (hardware),
hwinfo (hardware), lspci (PCI), lsscsi (scsi), lsusb (usb),
inxi -Fx (detailed hardware), lsblk (block devices),
df (disk space), free (RAM), /proc files and more.
