So yeah in order to check if you have received SSD or HDD try the below method

On the latest kernels the SSD disks are automatically detected.

To fine Hard drive path

use

fdisk -l

Replace sda with your hard drive path.

$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational

The result of the command will be a number

1 means you have a HDD
0 means you have a SSD

Enjoy!!!
