Powershell - Get Hard Drive Size and Free Space

#powershell #windows #hdd #tutorial

Run the following in a Powershell window

$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" | Select-Object Size, FreeSpace

Write-Host ("{0}GB total" -f [math]::truncate($disk.Size / 1GB))

Write-Host ("{0}GB free" -f [math]::truncate($disk.FreeSpace / 1GB))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To get a different drive letter, just change the C: in "DeviceID='C:'" to whatever drive you want.
