  • Logical Sector Size
  • Physical Sector Size
  • Largest Free Extent

How to Install

Download the file below. Then go to Settings / Scripts (or run Prefs SCRIPTINSTALL) and select the downloaded file.

:warning: IMPORTANT: Needs at least DOpus v13.9

v1.1 : Drives Extended Info.opusscriptinstall

That's it. Now you can access to your new columns via the Columns Menu, in Script >DriveExtendedInfo section. You can even use it in 'This PC' tab!

Notes / Further Development

  • It retrieves data via WMI using Win32_DiskDrive, MSFT_Disk and Win32_CDROMDrive, so only the drives listed there are available.
  • It may be some issues when retrieving data from WMI with insufficient privileges, specially when using MSFT_Disk.
  • It may be expanded to list network drives in the future, but at the moment I don't have access to any for testing. If you do and are willing to help, you can DM me for details.
