Fast Checking of Connected Devices
--------------    
Rocket Offers several tools to investigate system connected devices, the SCSI Devices, BLOCK Devices and USB Devices.

Those little Utilities can help you to check how devices are connected to system and if some error does exists.

SCSI Devices
`````````````
SCSI Devices button will show system connected devices list
You can obtain same result from terminal with command "lssci"

BLOCK Devices
`````````````
BLOCK Devices button will show block connected block devices with relative partitions scheme

USB Devices

USB Devices Tool displays system connected devices using ChallengerOS ``lsusb`` command

This tool is useful when you are connecting some usb disk device as Usb External Drives or Flash USB Sticks.

.. hint::
    In many cases of damaged USB Flash Sticks, Device is shown on USB devices, but not on SCSI list and in BLOCK devices.
    This Means: ``GOOD CONTROLLER`` and **BAD FLASH**
