Enumerate external drives

Question

In java, you can use File.listRoots() to get all drives in the system.

I\'m looking to get only the external drives, i.e. USB drives, external hard disk

Answer 1

You could use WMI or look into

GetRawInputDeviceList()

GetRawInputDeviceInfo()

This should get you started
