How does this differ from xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.Drive?
They look fairly similar;  We generally don't name dbus interfaces
after Redfish directly.  We should reuse what already exists where
possible, and only invent new things where needed.

You've also omitted what properties you're trying to target.  Could
you walk through a little bit about what you're trying to accomplish
with this?  (beyond just "implement the redfish schemas).  Are you
trying to get smart data?  just inventory information?  Do you plan to
represent connections?
