Hard Drive Temperature Via WMI

Nov 9, 2007

I'm trying to get hard drive temperature data.I can get the temperature via MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData.And, I can get all sorts of drive info (model, serial #, etc. via the Win32PhysicalMediaClass.The trouble is trying to link the two together.I get this temperature info, but I don't know which drive it is.The only identifier I can get from MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData is InstanceName.That looks like it has the model number embedded in it, but I can't get model number in Win32 my question is how can I get the temperature data and realte it to a specific drive?

Retrieve Hard Drive Temperature?

Feb 1, 2010

I am looking for a way to retrieve the temperature of hard drives in VB Express 2008. I have found posts at a few different places that accomplish this with the following: Public Function GetDriveTemp() As Integer

Try
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("rootWMI", "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
Dim arrVendorSpecific As Byte() = queryObj("VendorSpecific")
GetDriveTemp = arrVendorSpecific(115
Next

[Code]...

This function retrieves the temperature for all the hard drives in my system (excluding USB), two internal and one external esata drive. There are two problems, tough: 1. I want to know the drive letter and maybe the drive label that the retrieved temperature corresponds to. I'm assuming that the * in the query, "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData", can be changed to specify a particular drive rather than all drives, but I don't know how retrieve a list of all the drives in my system or how to write the query based on those results.

2. If I call the funciton from a some click event like for a label or button, there are no problems and the return value seems valid. But when I call the function from a Timer_Tick event, the mouse cursor is the busy cursor as long as the mouse is within the form, the form doesn't receive any click events, and it cannot be closed.

I know what I'm trying to do can be done because there are a few utilities that provide this information.

Reading And Writing Files On External Hard Drive, Code To Ensure SQL Or Data Read/write Execution In Case Of Periodic Drive Reconnect?

Dec 18, 2010

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
