Hey ,
I have a question which I really hope someone can help me.
I have been dealing for a long time with finding a real unique ID for Hard Disks (slaves).
From all the forums and articles the answer I got is "Serial Number".
Is that true ? Is serial number is the only and best unique ID to recognize HD ?
The reason I'm asking that question is that I wrote a program in c++.One of the things it does is
getting with WMI command the HDs' serial numbers that connect to the station.
Through the time I noticed that sometimes I get for the same HD different serial numbers or
similar serial number but the characters changed their place.
Are you familiar with this problem ? Is there better unique ID should I use ? Is there a better call than WMI ?
Thanks !
