   One thing that's nice about coming over to this universe is USB. Back in my home dimension we still used SCSI, and it got really tiring having to set the IDs on our flash drives before we could plug them in.

     (the joke is that USB flash drives are absolutely SCSI, they're just tunneling the protocol over a USB transport and thus SCSI IDs aren't required)

     @foone so, does every usb drive have the same scsi ID underneath it all?

     @rotopenguin I don't think they have SCSI IDs. I think that was at a transport layer of the SCSI protocol, which USB doesn't use.
     USB has its own IDs, but they work differently

     @foone can they do multiple LUNs? I... cannot think of any good non-cursed reason you'd need this, so of course there should be some device doing it to emulate a bunch of separate drives when you plug it in
