Hi,

The API doesn't have a type called "Flash". To get it, you can run the command below.

System.log(ds.info.vmfs.ssd)

The command will return "true" if the datastore is SSD-based, which is equal to "Flash" in the vCenter GUI.

I have created a solution for this in TypeScript using the Aria Build Tools

https://github.com/vmware/build-tools-for-vmware-aria

    public VcStoragePodLogDetails(objVcStoragePod: VcStoragePod): void {

        let objVcStoragePodSummary: VcStoragePodSummary = objVcStoragePod.summary;

        let arrVcDatastore: VcDatastore[] = objVcStoragePod.childEntity as VcDatastore[];

        this.objLogger.info(`VcStoragePod Name = ${objVcStoragePod.name} has ${arrVcDatastore.length} datastores with a total capacity of ${objVcStoragePodSummary.capacity.toString()} and a free space of ${objVcStoragePodSummary.freeSpace}.`);

        arrVcDatastore.forEach((objVcDatastore: VcDatastore): void => {

            let objVcDatastoreCapability: VcDatastoreCapability = objVcDatastore.capability;
            let arrVcDatastoreHostMount: VcDatastoreHostMount[] = objVcDatastore.host;
            let objVcDatastoreSummary: VcDatastoreSummary = objVcDatastore.summary;
            let objVcVmfsDatastoreInfo: VcVmfsDatastoreInfo = objVcDatastore.info as VcVmfsDatastoreInfo;
            let objVcHostVmfsVolume: VcHostVmfsVolume = objVcVmfsDatastoreInfo.vmfs;

            this.objLogger.info(`VcStoragePod Name = ${objVcStoragePod.name} has a datastore named ${objVcDatastore.name} with a type of ${objVcVmfsDatastoreInfo.vmfs.type} with a total provisioned space of ${objVcDatastore.provisionedSpace.toString()} with a total capacity of ${objVcDatastore.capacity.toString()} and a free space of ${objVcDatastore.freeSpace.toString()} which is mounted by ${arrVcDatastoreHostMount.length} ESXi hosts.`);

        });
    }
