Get-StorageAdvancedProperty

  • Reference
Module:
Storage

Gets the advanced properties on a storage device.

Syntax

Get-StorageAdvancedProperty
   -PhysicalDisk <CimInstance>
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-StorageAdvancedProperty cmdlet gets the advanced properties of a storage device. For example, Get-PhysicalDisk gets the most commonly used attributes of a physical disk such as CanPool. To get the cache (IsDeviceCacheEnabled) and power protection (IsPowerProtected) settings for a physical disk, you can pass a PhysicalDisk object to the Get-StorageAdvancedProperty cmdlet.

The output of the cache (IsDeviceCacheEnabled) and power protection (IsPowerProtected) are collected from the user-defined settings of the physical disk. Power protection (IsPowerProtected) is not an indicator of the physical disk support for power loss protection (PLP). Refer to the physical disk vendor’s datasheet for PLP support details.

Examples

Example 1: Get advanced storage properties of a physical disk

PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk | Get-StorageAdvancedProperty
FriendlyName          SerialNumber    IsPowerProtected IsDeviceCacheEnabled
------------          ------------    ---------------- --------------------
MTFDWSC128MAM-1J1     1247091D111W                True                False
WDC WD10EZWC-60ZF5A0  WD-WCC1S1822719             True                False
WDC WD10EZWC-60ZF5A0  WD-WCC1S1634655             True                False

This command uses the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet to get all physical disks, and uses the pipeline operator to pass them to Get-StorageAdvancedProperty to get the advanced storage properties IsPowerProtected and IsDeviceCacheEnabled for the physical disks.

Example 2: Get advanced storage properties for the first physical disk in an array

PS C:\>Get-StorageAdvancedProperty -PhysicalDisk (Get-PhysicalDisk)[0]
FriendlyName          SerialNumber    IsPowerProtected IsDeviceCacheEnabled
------------          ------------    ---------------- --------------------
MTFDWSC128MAM-1J1     1247091D111W                True                False

This command gets the advanced storage properties IsPowerProtected and IsDeviceCacheEnabled for the first PhysicalDisk object in the array of returned physical disks.

Parameters

-PhysicalDisk

Specifies an array of physical disk objects.

Type:CimInstance
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

Outputs

PhysicalDiskAdvancedProperties

The cmdlet gets the advanced properties for PhysicalDisk objects: IsPowerProtected and IsDeviceCacheEnabled.

Notes

  • When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
