Diskovery 0.9.12.0 Beta

Diskovery is an advanced diagnostic and monitoring tool designed to unveil all the details of your computer's storage ecosystem. Developed as the perfect complement to Bvckup 2 — a fast and efficient backup software for Windows — Diskovery offers a deep and organized view of physical drives, disk arrays, partitions, volumes, and mount points. The ideal tool for IT professionals, system administrators, and users dealing with large volumes of data, it transforms complex technical information into clear and actionable insights.

Main Features

1. Detailed Hardware Analysis

Physical Drives:

Complete identification of manufacturer, model, serial number, and WWN (Worldwide Number).

Critical metrics: capacity, RPM, signaling speed (up to 12.0 Gbps), disk health (S.M.A.R.T.), temperature, and hours of operation.

Support for advanced technologies: NCQ, AAM, NVMe, USB 2.0/3.0+, and RAID controller status.

2. RAID and Storage Configuration Management

Details of RAID arrays (0, 1, 5, etc.), including status (healthy, failed, rebuilding) and controller serial.

Compatibility with CSMI (Intel ICH, HP SmartArray) and monitoring of disks in hardware configurations.

3. Intelligent Mapping of Partitions and Volumes

Types of partitioning (MBR, GPT) and partition tables, including unallocated spaces.

Status of volumes (online, offline, failed) and technical details of NTFS file systems (compression, encryption).

Support for dynamic volumes: mirrored, striped, spanned, and software RAID.

4. Integration with Windows Ecosystem

Mount points via drive letters or directories.

Detection of logical and physical volumes via Windows native API and Virtual Disk Service (VDS).

How Does Diskovery Work?

Initial Scanning:

Query to Windows Configuration Manager to identify storage devices (Disk/StoragePort).

Advanced Technical Collection:

Direct access to disks via ATA/SCSI pass-through and CSMI protocols for RAID controllers.

Data Modeling:

Cross-referencing information between hardware, logical volumes, and system configurations.

Clear Presentation:

Intuitive interface displaying the computer's "storage stack," from physical disks to mount points.
