How can I set a hard disk as SSD using vboxmanage?

Post by Dj Sison »

I am automating the creation of a VM that will be registered in VirtualBox.
I am attaching a storage drive to the VM, and I want to set is as a Solid-state Drive.
In Virtual Box UI, I can do this by ticking a checkbox (see attached file).
How can I do this using vboxmanage?

VBoxManage storageattach .... --nonrotational. See user manual section 8.18.
