Try like this

Get-VM | Get-HardDisk |

where{$_.StorageFormat -eq 'Thin' -and $_.CapacityGB -gt 500} |

Select @{N='VM';E={$_.Parent}},Name,Filename,CapacityGB

this is what I've used in the past :-

get-cluster acluster | Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | ? {$_.capacityGB -gt '499'} | ? {$_.storageformat -like "thin"} | select parent,capacityGB,storageformat,filename | ft -AutoSize

either way chose 499GB, if the drive is 500GB it will get over looked

Not sure what you mean by "it will get overlooked".

Care to explain ?

I also tried it, somehow its not displaying in powercli console even after using ft -AutoSize. You can export it to csv and then you can use Filter in excel. I tested it for -gt '10' GB

Get-Cluster XYZ | Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | where{$_.StorageFormat -eq 'Thin' -and $_.CapacityGB -gt '10'} | Export-Csv -Path C:\xxx\Data.csv
