Re: device name and vendor name/ID

Mike --

How about checking the IORegistry properties published by each device?

<IOKit/storage/IOStorageDeviceCharacteristics.h>

Look for the "Device Characteristics" dictionary at the IOBlockStorageDevice node in the registry. It should contain all the info you requested (except for the vendor in the case of ATA, it smashes the vendor and model name together in the same field.

HTH,

Is there a way to retrieve disk info such as device name or vendor name/ID without having to create a driver and running an inquiry or identify command?
