On the overall machine report you have a section for HDD vs SSD but it is not accurate.

If you connect to a system and then hit diagnostic mode button, info tab there is a disk info there that pulls Drive Model. Can I get drive model added to the “Hardware inventory report”?

Sounds like a reasonable request / idea.  
Did you submit as a feature request support ticket?

Make sure to send in a feature request.

In the meantime, (If your using Windows machines), you could use a Powershell script to run and pull the info and put it in the machine properties:

**Use Microsoft get-disk:**

> **[Get-Disk (Storage)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/storage/get-disk?view=windowsserver2022-ps)**
>
> Use this topic to help manage Windows and Windows Server technologies with Windows PowerShell.

**Use SimpleHelp Machine Properties:**

We do have an open improvement ticket for this, and I’ve added this thread to make sure the report is covered too.
