You are probably being caught by the fact that much new hardware, especially USB, still uses the SCSI command set underneath. For example, USB discs ad memory sticks usually conform to the Mass Storage Class (MSC) which uses the SCSI command set across the USB cable.

[Hampshire] Detect USB or SATA drive
Hi all I need a bit of help identifying drives that I (stupidly) didn't put a sticker on before I initialised them. I have about 6 drives connected to my media server. 2 are inside the case connected by SATA (1 is the OS (Xenial) and the other is media). Then there are 4 connected externally (in one 4 bay das jbod). It would be useful to me if I could determine (via df -h if poss) which are usb and which are usb. I've tried lsusb and lshw -C disk but neither are helping. lshw keeps telling me they're all SCSI for example which I know is wrong. They're all SATA - it's just that some are connected via USB, some aren't.
