I think the problem is more with the fact that the disk is in a USB Enclosure, than who/what made the disk. I have the same problem on a W8.1 Clone, a copy that has been modified to boot from USB. Windows identifies this disk, and a WinToGo made installation as HDD's even though they're both actually SSD's. My solution was to turn off Windows Disk Optimization and use Piriform's Defraggler, which correctly identifies the disks through at least my USB Enclosures and offers to (Quick) Optimize rather than Defrag correctly. It's not recommended, nor offers any advantage, to defragment SSD's. The "optimization" is a simple trimming/zeroing of no longer used sectors. Aside, W8.1 seems to do a good job of this on the running volume by it's self even with it's disk optimization disabled? But of course takes no action on non-running volumes.
