Right so does it make sense to have these as separate categories:

SATA/PATA
SCSI/SAS
MMC/SDCard
USB
PCIe SSD (which may morph into NVMe)

?

I guess I'm not seeing the point of separate PATA/SATA device tests is my main point, and second is that there are other devices not in the list that maybe ought to be in the list.
