You would never rsync from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb. they are not
directories and files. You would mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 say and then
rsync between those mounted filesystems. (call them SDA and SDB if you
want.)sda and sdb are the whole disk. sda# are partitions on sda where #
means some number . But you do not have drives sda or sdb You have
driver /dev/nvme0 and /dev/nvme1 say, with partitions like nvme0n1p2
Mount the partitions into your root filessytem and then you can rsync
between those mounted partitions.
