Done add %@drivemediatype and %@drivebustype variable functions

[mdlawler]

In Powershell you can do the command
Get-PhysicalDisk | select Friendlyname, BusType, MediaType

To see the bustype and mediatype for disks, but there isn't an easy way to then connect this to a specific drive. It would be nice to know if drives returned from %@drivetypeex of type 3 were HDD, SSD, and if SSD if they were NVME. Some things happen so fast on NVME drives that they become CPU limitted so it would be nice to be able to check for this.

Vince, I'm not finding the link to your btm in this thread. Can it be modified to look at the bustype for nvme also? If so can you please put it on your ftp site?

@mdlawler if you are referring to dtype.btm,
the source code for dtype.btm is here.

Here is a modified version to give the bus type

@echo off
setlocal
if %# == 0 (echo Usage: DTYPE.BTM drive_letter[...] & quit)
:: DriveLetter is the ASCII code of an uppercase letter; e.g., the c drive is 67
set letter=%@ascii[%@upper[%@instr[0,1,%1]]]
set DiskNumber=%@wmi[root\Microsoft\Windows\Storage,"select DiskNumber from MSFT_Partition where DriveLetter=%letter"]
if "%DiskNumber" == "" ( echoerr No such disk & quit )
set MediaType=%@wmi[root\Microsoft\Windows\Storage,"select MediaType from MSFT_PhysicalDisk where DeviceId=%DiskNumber"]
if "MediaType" == "" (echoerr Unknown error & quit)
set BusType=%@wmi[root\Microsoft\Windows\Storage,"select BusType from MSFT_PhysicalDisk where DeviceId=%DiskNumber"]
if "BusType" == "" (echoerr Unknown error & quit)

@BUSTYPE[drive:] - returns the bus type for the specified drive. The possible return values are:

0 - unspecified
1 - SCSI
2 - ATAPI
3 - ATA
4 - IEEE 1394
5 - SSA
6 - Fibre Channel
7 - USB
8 - RAID
9 - iSCSI
10 - SAS
11 - SATA
12 - SD
13 - MMC
17 - NVME

Anything else returns an empty result

@MEDIATYPE[drive:] - returns the media type for the specified drive. The possible return values are:

0 - Unspecified
3 - HHD
4 - SSD
5 - SCM
Anything else returns an empty result
