I'm using the official ubuntu/bionic64 Virtualbox image in Vagrant. When starting it comes up as a spinning disk (HDD) on a SCSI controller. I'd like to change this to be treated as an SSD (aka "nonrotational") on a SATA controller with host I/O cache to see if that's any faster. I don't seem to be able to modify the existing controller and medium:




  • modifymedium doesn't seem to support setting the "nonrotational" feature.

  • I can't figure out how to detach the existing volume to reattach it using storageattach - there's no storagedetach, none of the storageattach flags seem relevant, and closemedium doesn't seem to be what I want ("[…] cannot be closed because it is still attached to 1 virtual machines").
