Win32_DiskDrive > Disk Size in GB instead of bytes

Question

Hi,

I am working with a VB Forms application and collecting disk information. The disk size is retrieved in bytes but I want to get/convert into GB, IF POSSIBLE:

Dim DiskInfo As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive")
For Each queryDisk As ManagementObject In DiskInfo.Get()
RichTextBox1.AppendText("  Size (Bytes): " & queryDisk("Size") & "      " & vbCrLf)
Next

Answer 1

Hi,

Divide the number by bytes by 1073741824 and that will give you Gigabytes.

Answer 2

Hi @~OSD~,

Don't know if queryDisk("Size") gets a plain numeric string, if so, you can try the following code, if not, you may have to extract its numeric part first.

RichTextBox1.AppendText("  Size (Gigabytes): " & queryDisk("Size") / 1073741824 & "      " & vbCrLf)

Best Regards.
