How to find out the size of the physical disk (not partition!) In Windows 7 up to a byte?

Computer Management -> Disk Management shows the value in GB.

  • @Invision 1. This is something old. 2. I do not need the cluster size, I need the size of the physical disk. 3. chkdsk does not work with physical disks, only with partitions. - Qwertiy ♦
  • How do you want to do this? Programmatically? - MaximK
  • @MaksimKutovoy, preferably not programmatically. But you can programmatically. - Qwertiy ♦

Use the built-in "System Information".
Start - Run - msinfo32
Section "Components - Storage - Disks" Disk information

    I didn’t find how to do it through powershell or wmic , but there is a windows version of the SMART Monitoring Tools package. The syntax is the same as in linux , i.e. For the first hard disk, you must enter smartctl --all /dev/sda . enter image description here . All that remains is to strip the User Capacity string.
