State (SSD) drive.
Device Type
The protocol used by the device, for example, FC or SAS.Device Protocol
Speed of the specified disk (in thousands of RPMs).Device RPM
NOTE: The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without spinning media (SSDs).
It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance difference between the drive and the other drives in the system.
For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an
SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second,
bandwidth, and the access time.
