To get all of the non-removable disks, I just do:

for file in /sys/block/sd*; do
  rem=$(cat $file/removable)
  if [[ $rem == 0 ]]; then
    hds="$hds $(basename $file)"
  fi
done

Of course if you have some storage setup that presents disks with some
name other than sd* then you'll have to adjust that.
