Had some software crash for a user because it expected TotalSectors from WMI to be present for all Win32_DiskDrive's. The powershell output for it is below.
I asked the user if there was something wrong with the device and he responded "I use it everywhere just fine, but i know sometimes windows asks to 'fix' something in there, and always click 'No'."
I'm curious what might be wrong with it so I can advise other users who might have a similar issue before a patch can be released. Also, how I might be able to force a device to present like this for testing purposes.

for me it works. Maybe the SATA to USB controller doesn't support those information. – magicandre1981 – 2015-03-03T16:52:16.200
1What information is reported is entirely up to the firmware of the controller. Information about the storage device would be helpful. – Ramhound – 2015-03-03T17:18:11.263
All I have at the moment is that its a WD device. – Thomas – 2015-03-03T17:20:39.993
