Get a List of Fixed, Network, USB and CDROM Drives on your Machine using C# or VB.NET

The DriveInfo.DriveType enum is very useful to determine drive type. Let us see how to list down all USB drives connected to your machine using C# or VB.NET

C#

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
    DriveInfo[] drives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
    foreach (DriveInfo di in drives)
    {
        if (di.IsReady)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Volume label: {0} ", di.VolumeLabel);
            Console.WriteLine("Drive Type: {0} ", di.DriveType);
            Console.WriteLine("Free space: {0} bytes ", di.TotalFreeSpace);
            Console.WriteLine("Drive Size: {0} bytes \n", di.TotalSize);
        }
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // handle ex
}
}
}
}

VB.NET

Imports System
Imports System.IO

Namespace ConsoleApplication1
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
Try
    Dim drives() As DriveInfo = DriveInfo.GetDrives()
    For Each di As DriveInfo In drives
        If di.IsReady Then
            Console.WriteLine("Volume label: {0} ", di.VolumeLabel)
            Console.WriteLine("Drive Type: {0} ", di.DriveType)
            Console.WriteLine("Free space: {0} bytes ", di.TotalFreeSpace)
            Console.WriteLine("Drive Size: {0} bytes ", di.TotalSize)
        End If
    Next di
    Console.ReadLine()
Catch ex As Exception
    ' handle ex
End Try
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
