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:
The output from SAS hard drives shows a rotation rate and a device type of 'disk', like this:
I'm curious how smartctl reports the same information for SAS SSDs. For SATA SSDs it reports a rotation rate of 'Solid State Disk':
Which is pretty clear! I'm wondering if it reports the same thing for SAS SSDs.
Thanks in advance my friends!
