I have installed Mac OS X 10.12 in VMware Player. The installation was in an SSD, but in the settings it shows only options to add Hard Disk (SATA).
Also Mac sees this as an HDD.
If the guest Mac is utilizing the SSD or it just performing as if it in a normal SATA HDD? If so is there any way to let mac utilize the SSD in VMware?
VMware Workstation 12 Player 12.5.2

, and then your virtual HDD will be a virtual SSD. You didn't provide which version of VMWare Player your using. So you will have to verify yourself if your version supports this configuration option. I can confirm OS X supports SSD reporting for SATA devices.
