WMI: Win32_DiskDrive (get memory mapped address), to Win32_DeviceMemoryAddress?

Question

How can I get the memory mapped device address for a disk drive starting with a disk enumerated by

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> gwmi Win32_DiskDrive | fl *

I can use

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> gwmi Win32_DeviceMemoryAddress | fl *

This command lists the memory mapped device addresses, however I do not see anything overlapping that to the Win32_DiskDrive.

Yes, I am new to gwmi. I know the basics, so maybe it is possible.

How do I get the memory mapped device address for a specific disk drive, say this one:

I found this site, which gives a nice list of available WMI Win32_* tags and through the the CIM ones.

What would be the WMI command and how do I get the information starting from a Win32_DiskDrive drive?

UPDATE: Windows does not, as of this question, handle NVMe SSDs the same as regular SSDs. As such, the IDE controller and many other features enumerated by WMI are either wrong or do not work.

Answer 1

I am no WMI expert and not sure whether I am on a right tracks here.

But there is a Associators Of keyword in WQL language (SQL for WMI). Associators Of allows you to retrieve all instances that are associated with a particular source instance. So by the method of trail and error, I have narrowed it down to following commands:

Get-WmiObject -Query "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID='\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0'} WHERE ResultClass=Win32_PnPEntity"
Get-WmiObject -Query "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID='SCSI\DISK&VEN_&PROD_KINGSTON_SHSS37A\4&2B0C446D&0&040000'} WHERE ResultClass=Win32_IdeController"
Get-WmiObject -Query "ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_IDEController.DeviceID='PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&SUBSYS_397817AA&REV_05\3&11583659&0&FA'} WHERE ResultClass=Win32_DeviceMemoryAddress"

DeviceID properties were hardcoded and found by piping output to fl * (to inspect the returned objects further)

You can also try to explore WMI repo further using the Associators Of keyword, Get-WMIObject -List command or GUI Explorer like WMI Explorer
