HardwareDevices - Incorrect volume mount points about systeminformer HOT 10 CLOSED

Is the RAM drive located on the ST32000645NS disk?

from systeminformer.

No, letter "J" is associated for SATA DVD-RAM recorder used different hardware bus - Pioneer DVR-221L (DVD±RW, DVD±RW DL, DVD-RAM, CD-R, CD-RW). I don't install any RAM drive. DVD-RAM is special optical disk used direct access to any physical sectors and have up to 100000 rewrite cycles (CD-RW, DVD±RW, BD-RE disk can up to 1000 rewrite cycles and can't have direct access to physical sectors).

What does Task Manager show?

It is natural that no RAM disk system, and in the Disk Manager, he is seen as a separate device CD-ROM0 DVD (I) "no carrier":

Yeah, you're right. It's a separate device bus that is assigning indexes 0 and 1 and thus the drive letters are getting assigned to the disks at indexes 0 and 1.

I'm not sure how to properly handle those non-disk devices yet.

And if you use GetDriveTypeW() - It also displays the device type, so we can filter out the CD / DVD and other removable storage devices.

And if you use GetDriveTypeW()

No, it doesn't support devices without a mount path. I already query the type directly from the device chipset but the value wasn't checked.

This should be fixed now: cae14cf

Excellent! This is something that is necessary, but with S.M.A.R.T. let Troubleshooting Packs understand - these attributes and special units of the PC3000 sometimes read wrong, but to repair the failed HDD with them in most cases succeed (if there are necessary spare parts, otherwise the only manufacturer rescue).

The only visual detail that spoils the overall picture is that when we reduce the size of the window horizontally Details button to the right may overlap invisible field as in the screenshot:
