Not much of a surprise. What we can do is mapping a logical drive (i.e. drive letter) to the underlying physical device or devices – multiple logical drives may map to the same physical device, and a logical drive may span multiple physical devices. Then we can query certain properties of those physical device(s) which allow us to "detected" an SSD or SSD-like drive. However, if some software creates a "virtual" drive, it is pretty much impossible to tell on which physical drive or drives the data is actually stored. It may emulate (and thus look like) a "fixed" disk, but we don't know whether the contents of "virtual" drive are stored on a (local) physical device at all – might be a "RAM" disk, or a "cloud" drive, or whatsoever...
