The NTMS_DRIVETYPEINFORMATION structure defines the properties specific to a type of drive supported by RSM.

Syntax

  CHAR  szVendor[NTMS_VENDORNAME_LENGTH];

  DWORD NumberOfHeads;
  DWORD DeviceType;
} NTMS_DRIVETYPEINFORMATIONA;

Name of the vendor of the drive. This is acquired directly from the device inquiry data.

szProduct[NTMS_PRODUCTNAME_LENGTH]

NumberOfHeads

This member is reserved for future use and should be ignored.

Note

The ntmsapi.h header defines NTMS_DRIVETYPEINFORMATION as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
