Criteria to find non-SSD systems?

I'd like to create a smart group/smart search with criteria to find non-SSD systems.

I could add computer model of "Air" or "Retina" but this would miss Mac Mini and iMac systems.

I see in Computer > Storage > Model "Apple SSD XXX" listed, but I can't figure out how to search on this criteria. Storage model, drive model, disk type, etc. don't show in the All Criteria area.

Anyone got an idea?

This has been discussed a couple times before. As of now, looks like you'll need to make an Extension Attribute.

Yeah, an EA is going to be the only way to do that right now. I had looked to see if you could use something like HD size for this, since generally speaking, SSDs come in multiples of 64, such as 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, etc. Most spinning platter disks come in more rounded number sizes, like 250, 500, etc. But since drives are often reported in the JSS in sizes like 256.08 GB and aren't consistent its not really feasible. The JSS only uses Less than, More than, etc modifiers for the HD size criteria, not "Like", so you can't use something along the lines of: HD Size | Like 256. Or HD Size | Like 512. etc.
