Disk shows information about the LUN and virtual disk about the virtual disks of a VM.

Oh... than your vSphere must be a special one because in the last ten years i found Read and Write latency metrics in ms or μs under the Virtual disk category within vCenter.

AGAIN ... the metrics depends on the statistic level within vcenter configuration.
