Combine output from two commands into single table with shell script

Question

I want to display the output of the following commands which are as below-:

1)

mount | grep -i "/dev/sd*" | awk '{ print NR "\t" $1 "\t" $3 }'

2)

/usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep Device: | awk '{print $2 }'

The 1st comand displays 3 columns with multiple rows and the next command displays one one column of information.

I want to concat the outputs of both the commands and concat and display as 4 columns with multiple rows. Please suggest.

This is what paste is for. Use process substitution to make the shell treat your commands like files:

paste <(mount | awk 'tolower($0) ~ /\/dev\/sd*/ {print NR "\t" $1 "\t" $3}') \
      <(/usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sdb | awk '/Device:/ {print $2}')

I removed the grep commands, which awk can easily do.
