How to get DiskDrive model if I know the Drive letter

lexx_zone

Guys, I need help. I know the volume letter. How can I get a model of physical disk drive which consists a volume with a known to me name? I think, I have to use WMI, maybe Win32_DiskDrive, but how can I compare logical disk with physical disk?

Hello Hope this help ... I know it's far a bit from your answer ... But I really tried to help you as much as I can ,, 1)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Management;
namespace ConsoleApplication31
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@"\root\cimv2");
ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_DiskPartition");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
ManagementObjectCollection drives = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject current in drives)
{
Console.WriteLine("device id = " + current["deviceid"]);
ObjectQuery associators = new ObjectQuery("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_DiskPartition.DeviceID=\"" + current["deviceid"] + "\"} where assocclass=Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition");
searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, associators);
ManagementObjectCollection disks = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject disk in disks)
{
Console.WriteLine("\tdevice id = " + disk["deviceid"]);
}
}
}
}
}

Another Example ...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Management;
namespace ConsoleApplication31
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

        ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@"\\root\\cimv2");
        ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("select \* from Win32\_DiskPartition");
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
        ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
        ManagementObjectCollection drives = searcher.Get();
        int dindex= 0;
        foreach (ManagementObject current in drives)
        {
            dindex = int.Parse(current\["DiskIndex"\].ToString());
        }
        scope = new ManagementScope(@"\\root\\cimv2");
        query = new ObjectQuery("select \* from Win32\_DiskDrive WHERE Index = " + dindex.ToString());
        searcher = new
        ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
        drives = searcher.Get();
        foreach (ManagementObject current in drives)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(current\["Model"\].ToString());

Thank you very much for your examples. It was really helpful to me. I combined and modified your solutions and wrote this code:

   string VolumeName = "C:";
        ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@"\\root\\cimv2");
        ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32\_LogicalDisk.DeviceID=\\"" + VolumeName + "\\"} where assocclass=Win32\_LogicalDiskToPartition");
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
        ManagementObjectCollection drives = searcher.Get();
        foreach (ManagementObject current in drives)
        {
            scope = new ManagementScope(@"\\root\\cimv2");
            query = new ObjectQuery("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32\_DiskPartition.DeviceID=\\"" + current\["DeviceID"\].ToString() + "\\"} where assocclass=Win32\_DiskDriveToDiskPartition");
            searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
            drives = searcher.Get();
            foreach (ManagementObject current2 in drives)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(current2\["model"\].ToString());
            }
        }
