MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData

[James]

Hi,

I have been looking for a way to determine the drive type, SATA or IDE and found "MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData" only I cannot find how to use it.

Does anybody know?

Well This is what I can pull from MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData. Honestly I don't know if you can reliably pull IDE or SATA from that data.

I know that it's in the Identify Data when it's returned from the drive though.

Getting to that data is always the issue though.

OK, just need to add some outputs so I can test it
