General Note:

The workaround in Comment #3 won't work for many machines. This is because the kernel tries to detect whether the device is an SSD and is meant to set /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational to '0' for SSD or '1' for HDD. However it often gets it wrong (or wrong info from the drive). Many of the SSD's we have are telling the kernel that they are rotational!

Use the workaround in Comment #7 or Comment #32 (both same).
