Newly created Windows 10 Guest VM Incorrectly Identifies Storage Drive

Hi,

Just created a new guest using VMware Workstation Pro (v.16.2.1).  The Guest VM is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and everything looks OK except when I went to defrag the drive, it thinks I have an SSD and will not do the defrag.  The problem is it is NOT an SSD, but a 900Gb Seagate Enterprise SAS3 hard drive!

One person told me to add the following line in the VM's  *.vmx file:

scsiX:Y.virtualSSD=0

I did this and it still "thinks" my hard drive is an SSD.  Any thoughts?

Chris
