Hi, In Windows 11 VMs, virtual disks are reported as "HDD" whereas the underlying storage is SSD (ISCSI Storage Array). This may lead to unnecessary defragmentation and other "optimizations". Is there something to do to flag virtual disks as being "SSD" ? It is also detected as "Thin-provisioned". Which is also false. From the VM point of view we create our disks as "preallocated". Thin-provisioning is handled at the underlying storage array level. I don't think that it's a good idea to cascade to thin-provisioning features, that are of different nature and don't act together.
