I want to reliably identify SAS SSD drives in shell scripts, but I don't own any to test with. So I'm asking my fellow enthusiasts here on STH to post the smartctl 'INFORMATION SECTION' output from a SAS SSD:
Code:
smartctl -i /dev/'x'
The output from SAS hard drives shows a rotation rate and a device type of 'disk', like this:
Code:
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Vendor:               WDC

Logical Unit id:      0x5000cca2972572bc

Device type:          disk
Transport protocol:   SAS (SPL-3)

I'm curious how smartctl reports the same information for SAS SSDs. For SATA SSDs it reports a rotation rate of 'Solid State Disk':
Code:
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family:     Intel 730 and DC S35x0/3610/3700 Series SSDs
Device Model:     INTEL SSDSC2BB016T4
Serial Number:    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
LU WWN Device Id: 5 5cd2e4 04c013249
Firmware Version: G2010150
User Capacity:    1,536,000,000,512 bytes [1.53 TB]
Sector Sizes:     512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical
Rotation Rate:    Solid State Device
Form Factor:      2.5 inches
Device is:        In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]
ATA Version is:   ACS-2 T13/2015-D revision 3
SATA Version is:  SATA 2.6, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s)
Local Time is:    Fri Sep 10 11:21:08 2021 CDT
SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
SMART support is: Enabled
Which is pretty clear! I'm wondering if it reports the same thing for SAS SSDs.

Thanks in advance my friends!

Thank you, @gea!

Do you have any SAS solid state disks?

k... be a while but should be able to do this later today. Care to share what magic incantation you are creating? :p
Ha ha! Be glad to share -- I want to spruce up my disk burn-in script to handle SAS disks, and to avoid running badblocks on SSDs:

I want to reliably identify SAS SSD drives in shell scripts,
Bash script to check SAS drive standby mode.
Ubuntu

#!/bin/bash

# Find only SAS drives
declare -a StringArray=($(ls /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep -v part | grep "scsi" ))

for drive in ${StringArray[@]}; do
echo check SAS $drive standby flag
sudo sdparm -a /dev/disk/by-id/$drive | grep -i standby
done
