Before this thread wanders too far in fairy land - there is no "default disk type". "sd" stays for "SCSI disk". Each block device driver enumerates supported devices and assigns devices names that are unique to this driver and all other different types of block devices.

Intresting I kind of remember it meaning 'standard disk' (block) and they used to be /dev/sd1 .. and partitions where sd1a ... and raw devices where rsd1a etc. But I don't think it matters as the current laptop or PC can't really have scsi disks can it, surely they must be IDE, SAS or SATA.
