You have to install lsscsi to use it. However, what is on every Debian
system is the utils-linux package and it has lsblk.

At its simplest:

brian@desktop:~$ lsblk 
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
fd0      2:0    1     4K  0 disk 
sda      8:0    0 149.1G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0  16.8G  0 part /
├─sda2   8:2    0   5.6G  0 part /var
├─sda3   8:3    0   1.9G  0 part [SWAP]
└─sda4   8:4    0 124.9G  0 part /home
sdb      8:16   1   964M  0 disk 
├─sdb1   8:17   1   315M  0 part 
└─sdb2   8:18   1   320K  0 part 
sr0     11:0    1  1024M  0 rom  
sr1     11:1    1 466.7M  0 rom

Or:

brian@desktop:~$ lsblk -S
NAME HCTL       TYPE VENDOR   MODEL             REV TRAN
sda  0:0:0:0    disk ATA      SAMSUNG HD160JJ  0-33 sata
sdb  47:0:0:0   disk PEAK III Flash Drive      0.00 usb
sr0  3:0:0:0    rom  MATSHITA CD-ROM CR-587    7S13 ata
sr1  4:0:0:0    rom  PIONEER  DVD-RW  DVR-110  1.22 ata
