I actually have multiple HDDs of the same model with only their serial numbers different.
I usually just open partitionmanager, visually identify my required device, then go by disk/by-uuid or by disk/by-partuuid in case it doesn’t have a file system.
Then I copy-paste the UUID from partitionmanager into whatever I am doing.
Fucking around in /sys feels like I’m wielding a power stolen from the gods
