Per the title, I’m kind of surprised that the KDE Partition Manager doesn’t appear to communicate what each drive is physically, I’ve been forced to install Gnome Disks for this reason (and for arranging labels but that’s another matter).
So is there a way that I’ve missed or can it be added?
I see “nvme” and “SSD” in your screenshot.
Yeah it shouldn’t show them all with a “disk” icon, but it seems that GNOME Disks has the same problem.
i do prefer the presentation in Disks but both could be improved
the breeze icon set for a “disk” drive does not visually differentiate between nvme, SSD or HDD but it does for a thumb drive (which is something i guess).
the names vendors give their devices is not something KDE can control and disk does a better job of abstraction than KDE on that score by putting those vendor names as a subtitle to the main title for the device.
better still would be if this added layer of abstraction could differentiate between nvme, SSD and HDD and even assign them different icons (tho not wildly different).
but searching the icons with cuttlefish turns up exactly nothing for nvme, ssd or hdd…they are all disks or drives… so the icon differentiation is a deeper problem
but the text label should be within easy reach, i would think… KDE just needs to go one step further then disks and add
1.0 TB Disk (nmve)
vendor ident
2.0 TB Disk (SSD)
vendor ident
2.0 TB Disk (HDD)
vendor ident
i’d be happy with that.
I didn’t do anything special to get that view. That’s just how it looks.
