Run wmic diskdrive get InterfaceType

Windblows seems to always return IDE no matter what, unless it's SCSI so if you know of another way to get this lmk, i can look into it later

Yeah this is an old Windowsism.

SATA, is ATA. That is... IDE. It's just serially connected, instead of connected in parallel via ribbon cables.

SCSI is different, and usually only for special stuff with special drivers. SAS, and NVME devices often use SCSI drivers, but I've also seen NVME use ATA and therefore report IDE.

So while cosmetically I can see the confusion, but at the end of the day SATA IS IDE, so what's reported is technically correct.

But as far as I know to Windows all attached storage devices are either IDE, or SCSI. It never reports SATA.
