Steam asked to submit for the steam hardware survey, and I agreed. I was looking through the data in the report and noticed that it had figured out the right size of my disk, but later on it neither identified it as an SSD or HDD, which I think is a bug. This machine has an NVMe SSD, which is probably what confused it. This is not a major bug, but the data quality might suffer on some Linux machines.
I'm happy to help debug/run Beta versions/look at the code if it's not the expected behavior.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. open steam
  2. look at "system information" from the help menu
  3. see that it shows no SSDs or HDDs
