I'm trying to get device information about particular local hard drives. I've been able to create a few value returning methods using the DriveInfo class like this:
public string getDriveFormat(string driveName)
{
foreach (DriveInfo driveInfo in DriveInfo.GetDrives())
{
if (driveInfo.IsReady && driveInfo.Name == driveName)
{
return driveInfo.DriveFormat;
}
}
return "";
}
Note: - Add reference of System.management
WqlObjectQuery wqlObjectQuery = new WqlObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive");ManagementObjectSearcher managementObjectSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(wqlObjectQuery);
foreach (ManagementObject managementObject in managementObjectSearcher.Get()) {
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Caption = " + managementObject["Caption"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive DeviceID = " + managementObject["DeviceID"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Decsription = " + managementObject["Description"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Manufacturer = " + managementObject["Manufacturer"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Media Type = " + managementObject["MediaType"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Model = " + managementObject["Model"]);
Console.WriteLine("Hard Drive Name = " + managementObject["Name"]);
}
Not sure if you need to consider mounted drives as well:
foreach(ManagementObject managementObject in new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Volume" ).Get()){
//Code Here
}
