    Standard_LRS

    The PowerShell cmdlet that you are looking for is Set-AzVMOSDFisk
    The 4 options for StorageAccountType are; Premium_LRS, Standard_LRS , StandardSSD_LRS and UltraSSD_LRS

    $vm = Set-AzVMOSDisk -VM $vm -ManagedDiskId $osDisk.Id -StorageAccountType Standard_LRS -DiskSizeInGB 128 -CreateOption Attach -Windows
    

    You'd use it in VM Creation like this;

    $vmName = "myVM" $vmConfig = New-AzVMConfig -VMName $vmName -VMSize "Standard_A2"
    $vm = Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $vmConfig -Id $nic.Id
    $vm = Set-AzVMOSDisk -VM $vm -ManagedDiskId $osDisk.Id -StorageAccountType Standard_LRS -DiskSizeInGB 128 -CreateOption Attach -Windows
    New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $destinationResourceGroup -Location $location -VM $vm
