Is SCSI device identification different than other hard drives? Explain.
Yes. SCSI IDs aren’t used to identify the corresponding device file on a Linux system. Hard drives follow the naming system /dev/sdx (where x is a letter from a up), SCSI tapes are named /dev/stx and /dev/nstx (where x is a number from 0 up), and SCSI CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs are named /dev/scdx (where x is a number from 0 up).
