I'm a little new to bash programming and using Terminal, so I need help with something. Is there a way to check if there are any external drives through a command? I don't necessarily want any information on the drive; I would prefer the command gave me a simple yes, there are external drives connected, or no, there aren't any. Thanks, and sorry for the non-technical language.

Hello and welcome.
There isn't a command that gives a simple yes or no. However, you can see what volumes are currently mounted in Terminal by issuing the following command:
diskutil list
It will show all mounted volumes, their partitions, and other information. disk0 is your boot volume, usually your internal, if that is where OS X resides.
