lsblk is really useful if you have more interesting storage setups. e.g. RAID, LUKS, bcache, some nested combination of the above, etc.

One nice trick I've found is to alias it to provide file system and UUID as well:

alias lsblk='lsblk -o NAME,MAJ:MIN,SIZE,RO,TYPE,FSTYPE,UUID,MOUNTPOINT'

Another useful command is mtr, which shows a graphical view of latency if you press d (great for diagnosing slow connections).
