There are many utilities available to check Linux system hardware information. Some commands report altogether like CPU, Processor, memory, storage, disk, etc,. and the rest will cover only specific hardware components like CPU or processor or memory, etc,.
In this tutorial we are going to cover about Linux System Devices Information utilities such as lspci, lsscsi, lsusb, and lsblk.

List block devicesThis tutorial takes a quick look at some of the most commonly used commands to check information and configuration details about various hardware devices.
lspci stands for list PCI devices. lspci command is used to display information about PCI buses in the system and hardware devices that are connected to PCI and PCI bus.
It will display information about model number/chip details for devices like PCI bridge, VGA controller, Ethernet controller, USB controller, Audio device, IDE interface, etc,.,
lspci doesn’t come stand alone utility and its part of the pciutils package.
By default, it shows a brief list of devices which are attached in the system, so filter out specific device information with grep for better view.
pciutils is available in distribution official repository so, we can easily install through distribution package manager.
For Debian/Ubuntu
, use apt-get command or apt command to install pciutils.
$ sudo apt install pciutils
For RHEL/CentOS
, use YUM Command to install pciutils.
$ sudo yum install pciutils
For Fedora
, use dnf command to install pciutils.
$ sudo dnf install pciutils
For Arch Linux
, use pacman command to install pciutils.
$ sudo pacman -S pciutils
For openSUSE
, use Zypper Command to install pciutils.
$ sudo pacman -S pciutils
Just run the following command to get the PCI device information.
# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] 00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) 00:04.0 System peripheral: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Guest Service 00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:06.0 USB controller: Apple Inc.

To display the detailed information of all the PCI devices
# lspci -v
To display the subsystem information.
# lspci -m
lsscsi stands for list small Computer System Interface. The lsscsi command lists information about SCSI/Sata devices attached to the system.
It scans the sysfs (mounted at /sys) pseudo file system to gather information, which was introduced in the 2.6 Linux kernel series.
lsscsi is available in distribution official repository so, we can easily install through distribution package manager.
For Debian/Ubuntu
, use apt-get command or apt command to install lsscsi.
$ sudo apt install lsscsi
For RHEL/CentOS
, use YUM command to install lsscsi.
$ sudo yum install lsscsi
For Fedora
, use dnf command to install lsscsi.
$ sudo dnf install lsscsi
For Arch Linux
, use pacman command to install lsscsi.
$ sudo pacman -S lsscsi
For openSUSE
, use Zypper Command to install lsscsi.
$ sudo pacman -S lsscsi
Just run the following command to get the SCSI device information.
# lsscsi [0:2:0:0] disk IBM ServeRAID M5110e 3.24 /dev/sda [0:2:1:0] disk IBM ServeRAID M5110e 3.24 /dev/sdb [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd IBM SATA DEVICE 62F2642 SA82 /dev/sr0
lsusb stands for list Universal Serial Bus or USB. It’s display information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them. This will display a list of all USB devices connected to your computer such as keyboards, mouse, printers, disk drives, network adapters, etc.,.
lsusb doesn’t come stand alone utility and its part of the usbutils package.
lsusb is available in distribution official repository so, we can easily install through distribution package manager.
For Debian/Ubuntu
, use apt-get command or apt command to install lsusb.
$ sudo apt install usbutils
For RHEL/CentOS
, use YUM command to install lsusb.
$ sudo yum install usbutils
For Fedora
, use dnf command to install lsusb.
$ sudo dnf install usbutils
For Arch Linux
, use pacman command to install lsusb.
$ sudo pacman -S usbutils
For openSUSE
, use Zypper Command to install lsusb.
$ sudo pacman -S usbutils
Just run the following command to get the USB device information.
# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

Manufacture Namelsblk stands for list block devices. It’s display information about block devices (except RAM disks). Block devices are hard disk partition, flash drives, CD-ROM, optical drives, etc,.
lsblk is part of the util-linux package. It’s collection of basic system utilities that contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function.
lsblk is available in distribution official repository so, we can easily install through distribution package manager.
For Debian/Ubuntu
, use apt-get command or apt command to install lsblk.
$ sudo apt install util-linux
For RHEL/CentOS
, use YUM command to install lsblk.
$ sudo yum install util-linux-ng
For Fedora
, use dnf command to install lsblk.
$ sudo dnf install util-linux-ng
For Arch Linux
, use pacman command to install lsblk.
$ sudo pacman -S util-linux
For openSUSE
, use Zypper Command to install lsblk.
$ sudo zypper util-linux
Just run the following command to get the block device information.
