Does Ubuntu have a "device manager" equivalent? And what is an easy way to access USB drives?

I just started with Ubuntu and I am learning how to use it properly. I am a bit confused however about 2 things.

Firstly, Is there a "device manager"(windows) equivalent in Ubuntu? How can I see what devices are seen by the system + drivers installed?

Secondly, I noticed that Ubuntu doesn't use C:\ or D:\ drive, how would I select hard drive without the letters? I see that USB drives are in /media/(LONG STRING), is there an easier way to access USB drive or other hard drives?

I put in reasonable effort to learn as much as I can with the use of documentation provided, but those 2 things kind of confuse me at this point and I was wondering if someone could clarify this.

Thanks :)

When I googled "Linux device manager equivalent" one of the recommendations is hardinfo which I already had installed but which you can install with:

sudo apt install hardinfo

Then typing hardinfo in the terminal or calling from Dash (Alt+F2) the gui appears like this:

The comments above suggest using lspci and lsusb which are what I use most often but your question asks for a Windows "device manager" equivalent.
