The Set-PhysicalDisk cmdlet sets attributes on a specific physical disk in a storage pool, other than the primordial pool when using Storage Spaces.
When using the Windows Storage subsystem, this cmdlet only works on physical disks that have been added to a storage pool.
PS C:\>Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "PhysicalDisk4" -NewFriendlyName "PhysicalDiskInSlot5"
This example changes the friendly name of PhysicalDisk4 to PhysicalDiskInSlot5.
PS C:\>Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName PhysicalDisk2 -Usage AutoSelect
This example changes the Usage property of PhysicalDisk2 to AutoSelect.
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Type: | CimSession[] |

Sets the description of the specified physical disk.
Type: | String |

Specifies a media type. The cmdlet changes the media type that is associated with physical disk to the media type that you specify. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- SSD
- HDD
Type: | MediaType |
Accepted values: | HDD, SSD, SCM |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |

Specifies the new friendly name of the physical disk.
Type: | String |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0
is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Type: | Int32 |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |

- When using the Windows Storage subsystem, this cmdlet works only on physical disks that have been added to a storage pool.
- The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance
object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#
) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object. - When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).s
