we needed some help. in practice we were looking for a method to start the defremmentation (defrag) of the primary disk (on windows "C:") only if it is a HDD and not an SSD we read about the command in powershell but can't compile (mediaType)
CodePudding user response:
This script should work for you:
#Get friendly name of the C drive
$name = (get-partition -DriveLetter C | get-disk).FriendlyName
#Use friendly name to determine drive type
$mediatype = (Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName $name).MediaType
#Defragment drive if drive type is HDD
if ($mediatype -eq "HDD")
{
Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C
}
