   Disks command in Mint shows all the drives and the /dev for each.   
   Also nemo will show you the /dev in tool tips if you hover over the mounted   
   drive in the   
   side panel.   
      
   When doing a diff (meld) between two folders (if not too large) I do kinda   
   like Jonathan   
   suggested, and I copy one of the folders I compare to the Downloads folder and   
   rename it   
   to folder_suspect.   Then do a meld and compare, folder vs folder_suspect.    
   Lets me know   
   which one I prefer and what is suspect to be better or worse.
