Is there any way to read physical drive sectors in UWP app. Something like WinApi CreateFile/ReadFile function that won't need administrator privileges.

Currently, there is no way to get some low-level data, that is, to read the data of the sectors. We can only get the specific file or folder by path and use Windows.Storage.FileIO to read and write files.
