Does virtualized HDD, which is based on SSD, have the same feature like HDD rather than SSD? [closed]

As is known to us all, Macbook Pro's disk is SSD. When I install Centos 6.5 on it through VMware, the disk on virtual machine shows that it is HDD.
I use this command:
cat /sys/block/*/queue/rotational
and the result is:

1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1

which shows that it can rotate. But SSD has a good performance at random read while HDD does not. I want to know what features does the virtualized HDD have?

  • That is the very point of virtualization. What would happen if you ran that VM on another computer with a regular HDD?

  • @MSalters I want to test the performance of HBase on HDD and SSD. I regard this virtual machine as SSD.

    It's not an experiment, it's what virtual machines are designed for. Virtual machines is not a way to run several OSs on one computer (there is dual boot for that), it is a way to abstract away hardware and have a logical "computer" that works the same on any physical hardware. Virtual machines are supposed to be moved between different physical computers, and their virtual hardware does not change when you do that. Your VM does not have the same graphics, sound or network card than your physical computer either. You define what hardware it has when you create it.
