What would cause the GUI to not recognize a HDD as such?

[Chicken76]

I just noticed on my Proxmox 5.0 machine that one of the hard drives is listed as of type "Unknown" and was wondering what's the cause?
The drive is accessible, mounted and SMART stats look OK.

Do you think there is anything to worry about?

Seems ok. Maybe the Proxmox Staff has an idea.

can you post the content of following files/commands?

/sys/block/sdd/queue/rotational
udevadm info -p /sys/block/sdd --query all

ok, for some reason the drive/kernel does not expose the
ID_ATA_ROTATION_RATE_RPM parameter, so we do not know what type it is..
but aside from displaying unknown, there should be no ill effects

So nothing to worry about.
Thanks.
