==== Check a disk is HDD or SSD (rotational) ==== \\ You often get **a new PC or laptop** or using another person's computer and you may **not know the disk technology** being used (HDD/SSD). So, on **linux you can** use a **sys kernel file** to find it out. cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational # 0 means SSD, 1 means HDD # replace "sda" to your needs
