Finding speed control drive IDs without UI

I've successfully used the steps described in the following topic to adjust my drive speed limits on Windows:
viewtopic.php?t=22689

But on Linux I'm running makemkvcon only, on a headless server installation (Ubuntu Server 22.04), so I'm unable to launch the UI to open the Preferences dialog and cause it to write out the drive IDs so I can set the speeds there. (I already have a settings.conf that I've used to set up some other settings.)

Is there any other way to find out what the ID is that makemkv uses for the drives attached to the machine it's running on?

You can use makemkvcon f --list

There's also sdftool --list which is an alias.
