Couple of 'convenient' ways, as they provide a good deal of info in one go:

(n)atacontrol list

- covers ATAPI

camcontrol [devlist | periphlist]

- handles similar functionality for SCSI.

NB: You would still need to look at dmesg if/as/when there is one or 
more controllers that report on scan but get no driver assigned.

As happens ...

Likewise, depending on OS, there are a number of not-really-SCSI devices 
- usually USB or FW, but even PATA/SATA on some controllers - that are 
mapped to 'scsibus' and may not be reported by either of the above 'coz 
they don't buy into the charade.

HTH,
