It wouldn't just be the better way but the only working way.  

>From one of my test systems:

$ for i in /sys/block/*/device; do echo "vendor = $(cat $i/vendor) model = $(cat $i/model) type = $(cat $i/type)"; done
vendor = ServeRA  model = RAID 1           type = 0
vendor = HP       model = MSA2012fc        type = 0
vendor = HP       model = MSA2012fc        type = 0
vendor = HP       model = MSA2012fc        type = 0
vendor = HP       model = MSA2012fc        type = 0
vendor = NETAPP   model = LUN              type = 0
vendor = NETAPP   model = LUN              type = 0
vendor = MATSHITA model = UJDA780 DVD/CDRW type = 5
