Get Drive Volume information

Hi all,

Is there an instruction in Matlab I can use to get and save Drive Serial Information of an installed hard drive (ex. C:\ drive)? Any suggestion will be helpful!

Thanks in advance

S = system('wmic diskdrive get serialNumber')

Though I see some sites say

S = system('wmic bios get serialNumber')

The output is probably going to be two lines, with the first one being a header.

At the moment I do not know what happens if you have multiple drives.

It list all drives installed in the system. For my machine, it lists down 4 disks installed.

For windows machine, you can do the following:

[status, outpyt] = system("wmic diskdrive get model,serialnumber")

Thanks everyone! With a small change, what I needed was:

S = system('wmic volume get serialNumber')

Thanks!
