--- Comment #1 from Alan Stern (stern@rowland.harvard.edu) ---
This bug should be assigned to the SCSI or block subsystem, not the USB
subsystem.  USB is not responsible for determining whether a disk drive is
rotational.  All it does is transfer commands from those higher layers to the
drive and transfer the results from the drive back to the higher layers.

Thanks Alan for the hint, I changed it. But unfortunately I can't change the
Assignee, which is still on drivers_usb.

I propose you create a udev rule to override what the device firmware
erroneously reports.

The whole point of such an adapter is to make the disk portable, which makes it
possible to quickly connect it to many different machines (where some aren't
mine).

Creating a udev rule on every new machine is:
1.) annoying
2.) not possible since I don't always have root access

This is only a workaround limited to own personal machines. But it would be
much more useful if it was auto detected ootb correctly, hence this bug report.
