/dev/sd? format is normally used in unix/linux for the default disk types. when a new type of disk is added then there will be a new dev name. i expect that once nvme become standard (which can't be that far off) or it is your boot disk then it will follow the sd? format.
I expect not.
Read Adam Mizerski answer which explains why.
This answer is completely unrelated to the post you are replying to.
It is not a new type of disk...
It [NVMe] is one of the block device types supported by Linux and it is certainly newer than SCSI disk. "Disk" is the colloquial name for "block device".
it is not even a disk.
You are trying to be holier than the pope here. "NVMe disk" is a common expression in the IT industry. If you believe this is wrong, define what is "disk" before claiming that something "is not disk".
It emulates one, IMO.
What emulates what? Maybe *you* should read the answer before advising others to do it?
