Convert PowerShell output from bytes to GB {Get-PhysicalDisk}

Convert PowerShell output from bytes to GB {Get-PhysicalDisk}

~OSD~ 2,201

Hi,

I am using PS to get Disk detail and save the out put in an HTML file (see below).

The SIZE attribute displays the size in bytes, while I prefer to have this in GB. Is there a way to get the value of size in GB instead of bytes?

#Disk Details
$props = "Number", "FriendlyName", "MediaType", "SerialNumber", "OperationalStatus", "HealthStatus","Size"
Get-PhysicalDisk -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |Select-Object $props |ConvertTo-Html |Out-File D:\DemoFolder\Disk.html

If I test with Get-PhysicalDisk I get a correct HTML file :

Get-PhysicalDisk -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |Select-Object Number, FriendlyName, MediaType, SerialNumber, OperationalStatus, HealthStatus,@{Name="Size (GB)";Expression={$_.Size /1GB}}|ConvertTo-Html | Out-File D:\DemoFolder\Disk.html

@Castorix31 Thanks, I can now get size in GBs for Disk, Partitions, and Volumes.

Adapted to your linked suggestion, but here I have a blank HTML file.

Is it possible to get save the output as HTML file and convert the "Size" into GB(s) for the following :

Get-PhysicalDisk

Get-Partition

Get-Volume



Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName LOCALHOST | ? {$_. DriveType -eq 3} | select DeviceID, {$_.Size /1GB}, {$_.FreeSpace /1GB}  
          ConvertTo-Html|Out-File D:\DemoFolder\Partition.html
