lsblk is nice because it doesn't seem to require root.
fdisk -l is another choice (requires root, though).
fdisk was *the* go-to command a few decades back, but it was discouraged
for a while because it was slow to adopt GPT support. Current versions
of fdisk support GPT disk partitioning, so it's back on the acceptable
list.
