How to read SSD driver version number programmatically?

I thought I'd share my solution, I can't guarantee that it'd work on all SSDs (since it's a 'dirty' solution) but it should work on most.


static bool DriveIsSSD(string drive_letter)
{
foreach (ManagementObject obj in new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive").Get())
{
if(obj["PNPDeviceID"].ToString().Contains("SSD"))
{
foreach (ManagementObject partition in obj.GetRelated("Win32_DiskPartition"))
foreach (ManagementObject drive in partition.GetRelated("Win32_LogicalDisk"))
if (drive["Name"].ToString().StartsWith(drive_letter))
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

Note that you need to use the System.Management namespace and include System.Management as a reference.
