Issue/Introduction

 Is there a way to identify computers that have a SSD drive?

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Resolution

Windows does not allow a reliable way to collect information about a SSD disks. However we can identify the SSDs from the Inv_HW_Logical_Device data class. You can copy the following query to create your own report:

 

SELECT v.[Name] AS [Computer Name],
      cs.[Model] AS [Computer Model],
     hwl.[Model],
     ld.[Device ID] as Drive,
     CAST((ISNULL(ld.[Size (Bytes)], 0)/(1024 * 1024 * 1024)) AS DECIMAL (10, 2)) AS 'Total Disk Space (GB)',
     CAST((ISNULL(ld.[Free Space (Bytes)], 0)/(1024 * 1024 * 1024)) AS DECIMAL (10, 2)) AS 'Free Disk Space (GB)'
  FROM vrm_Computer_item v
INNER JOIN Inv_HW_Logical_Device hwl
ON v.Guid = hwl._ResourceGuid
INNER JOIN vHWComputerSystem cs
ON cs._ResourceGuid = v.Guid
INNER JOIN Inv_HW_Logical_Disk ld
ON ld._ResourceGuid = v.Guid
WHERE hwl.Model like '%SSD%'
