Let the pursuit of perfection be our guide. However by striving for perfection we create things that are as perfect as practically possible. In any case, it's best/easiest to ask the device driver.įor all things perfection is, and will always remain, impossible to achieve in practice. a pair of 100 GiB physical drives using striping and pretending to be a 200 GiB logical drive, or a set of four 100 GiB drives pretending to be whatever it works out to for RAID5). Of course that won't solve most cases completely and then there's RAID arrays to consider (e.g. nothing prevents a 3.5 inch disk from being formatted as a 1200 KiB disk).įor hard disks you could create a database of every hard drive ever manufactured, and that would narrow down the options a lot. there's 2 different "320 KiB" formats - one for 5.25 inch disks and one for 3.5 inch disks) and also avoid the unusual stuff (e.g. Anything lower than that is removable/floppy disk.Īfter that, the size can be compared to standards in case of removable/floppy media.įor floppies it's easy enough if you avoid the extremely old stuff (e.g. We can narrow down the possibilities by considering that a fixed disk is at-least 5 MB.
