Description
- The host (and guests) are under Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.
- My system has 2 X SAMSUNG MZ7KM480 SSD and 6 X SEAGATE Model: ST1000NX0323. I can create virtual drive on SSD drives without any problem but it does NOT work on SAS drives. The problem is the same with DOS or GPT format.
- The user is in vboxusers and disk groups.
- Partitions are readable with the dd command.

# # The behavior is exactly the same with the root user. #
- hdparm works well with our SSD drive seems NOT to be working with our ST1000NX0323 drives
- smartctl works well on our both type of drives
