Description Lukas Ba. 2017-01-20 10:59:47 UTC 
Solid doesn't know the difference between Hard drives and SSDs,
so other programs like kinfocenter always show it as a Hard drive.

Linux knows the difference, see
/sys/block/sdx/queue/rotational
and udev's
ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0"

The underlying backend, udisks, doesn't provide a method to get that info. So ideally you should file a bug with udisks. https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues
