# ASP Drive Object

The Drive object is used to return information about a local disk drive or a network share.

## Examples

Get the available space of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to first create a FileSystemObject object, and then use the AvailableSpace property to get the available space of a specified drive.

Get the free space of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the FreeSpace property to get the free space of a specified drive.

Get the total size of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the TotalSize property to get the total size of a specified drive.

Get the drive letter of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the DriveLetter property to get the drive letter of a specified drive.

Get the drive type of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the DriveType property to get the drive type of a specified drive.

Get the file system of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the FileSystem property to get the file system of a specified drive.

Is the drive ready?
This example demonstrates how to use the IsReady property to check whether a specified drive is ready.

Get the path of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the Path property to get the path of a specified drive.

Get the root folder of a specified drive
This example demonstrates how to use the RootFolder property to get the root folder of a specified drive.

Get the serialnumber of a specified drive

## The Drive Object

The Drive object is used to return information about a local disk drive or a network share. The Drive object can return information about a drive's type of file system, free space, serial number, volume name, and more.

Note: You cannot return information about a drive's content with the Drive object. For this purpose you will have to use the Folder object.

To work with the properties of the Drive object, you will have to create an instance of the Drive object through the FileSystemObject object. First; create a FileSystemObject object and then instantiate the Drive object through the GetDrive method or the Drives property of the FileSystemObject object.

The following example uses the GetDrive method of the FileSystemObject object to instantiate the Drive object and the TotalSize property to return the total size in bytes of the specified drive (c:):

    <%
    Dim fs,d
    Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set d=fs.GetDrive("c:")
    Response.Write("Drive " & d & ":")
    Response.Write("Total size in bytes: " & d.TotalSize)
    set d=nothing
    set fs=nothing
    %>

Output:

Drive c: Total size in bytes: 4293563392

The Drive object's properties are described below:

WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications. In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
