? Only SSDs?

HDDs should be working fine too.

? SATA disks should be fine as well, detected either by gnumach, or by
rumpdisk.

An important note here: the gnumach IDE driver is limited to 128GiB
(LBA28).  Only the gnumach SATA driver and rumpdisk can go beyond, up to
2TiB (device RPC interface limitation)
