Different bus, different naming.

Now, memory kinda hazy, but weren't ide devices /dev/hdX?

Yeah, they used to be, but they switched a few years back to consistently call all block devices sdx.

srsly? so it's just all "grab whatever dev" and not at all associated with the bus?

ATA was rolled into the SCSI subsystem, so both sata and pata are covered by SDX.

Makes sense, I mean... they're all essentialy long term memory storage devices.
