I need to check disk name and whether the "enable write caching on the device" is enabled or not. so far I tried api method DriveInfo.GetDrives , But it doesn't have any property or methods that can return information I am looking for.

        DriveInfo[] allDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

        foreach (DriveInfo d in allDrives)
        {

            Console.WriteLine("Drive {0}", d.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("  Drive type: {0}", d.DriveType);

        }

Have you read https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/winsdk/2009/10/09/enable-or-disable-enable-write-caching-on-disk-behavior-on-disk/ ? How did you go implementing that? – mjwills Mar 05 '18 at 20:26

it is c++ code . can you recommend any c# API to access the information – user1745679 Mar 05 '18 at 21:00
Any C# API would use the same functions under the hood. – aybe Mar 05 '18 at 23:14
