You need the diskutil
Something like this
Get the list of volumes

diskutil -list

Then get the device IDENTIFIER and pass it as bellow

[code]ioanniss-imac:~ ioannis$ diskutil info /dev/disk1s1 | grep “Removable Media” //<<< my sd card
Removable Media: Yes
ioanniss-imac:~ ioannis$

ioanniss-imac:~ ioannis$ diskutil info /dev/disk0 | grep “Removable Media” //<<< My SSD Disk
Removable Media: No
ioanniss-imac:~ ioannis$

[/code]
