How can I tell which physical device this actually is?
You can use wmic diskdrive get caption, deviceid, size
to match up the devices shown with physical disks.
Example output from my laptop:
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 465 GB 0 B
Disk 1 Online 59 GB 0 B
Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 7168 KB
And:
F:\test>wmic diskdrive get caption, deviceid, size
Caption DeviceID Size
WDC WD5000LPVX-08V0TT5 \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 500105249280
SanDisk Cruzer USB Device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 64009128960
Seagate Expansion Desk USB Device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 3000582144000
As you can see from the deviceid, and confirmed by the sizes, the devices are listed in the same order on my Laptop.
Note:
- The OP has stated that the
wmic
on his PC lists the devices in the reverse order. The information still allows the disks to be identified.
