Enumerate system drives in nodejs
If you targeting on Windows, you could try this:
This solution base upon the idea from this post.
I wrap it with promise.
var spawn = require("child_process").spawn
function listDrives(){
const list = spawn('cmd');
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
list.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
// console.log('stdout: ' + String(data));
const output = String(data)
const out = output.split("\r\n").map(e=>e.trim()).filter(e=>e!="")
if (out[0]==="Name"){
resolve(out.slice(1))
}
// console.log("stdoutput:", out)
});
list.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
// console.log('stderr: ' + data);
});
list.on('exit', function (code) {
console.log('child process exited with code ' + code);
if (code !== 0){
reject(code)
}
});
list.stdin.write('wmic logicaldisk get name\n');
list.stdin.end();
})
}
listDrives().then((data) => console.log(data))
Test it, you will see the result like:
["c:", "d:"]
I'm not sure what you mean by "drive name". If you mean drives in the form of \\.\PhysicalDriveN
, I faced the same problem and implemented this module that works in all major operating systems:

For Windows, you get information such as:
[
{
device: '\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0',
description: 'WDC WD10JPVX-75JC3T0',
size: '1000 GB'
},
{
device: '\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE1',
description: 'Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device',
size: '15 GB'
}
]
Based on Edwin Lees answer:
const child = require('child_process');
child.exec('wmic logicaldisk get name', (error, stdout) => {
console.log(
stdout.split('\r\r\n')
.filter(value => /[A-Za-z]:/.test(value))
.map(value => value.trim())
);
});
Output: ['C:', 'D:']
etc.
