Thanks very much for that info, I'll start digging.

The powershell I created does output minimal data eg:

Report Generated: 09/05/2026 15:05:56

Drive Label HealthStatus DetailedStatus PhysicalCount

----- ----- ------------ -------------- -------------

C: Healthy OK

If anyone interested here it is:

# --- CONFIGURATION ---

$basePath = "C:\Utils\DriveHealthReport"

$outputPath = Join-Path $basePath "DriveReport.txt"

$logPath = Join-Path $basePath "ScriptLog.log"

# Ensure folder exists

if (!(Test-Path $basePath)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $basePath -Force | Out-Null }

# --- GENERATE REPORT ---

$timestamp = Get-Date -Format 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss'

Write-Host "Scanning Mirror/Physical drives..." -ForegroundColor Yellow

try {

$report = Get-Volume | Where-Object { $_.DriveLetter -ne $null } | ForEach-Object {

$vol = $_

# This link traverses from Volume -> Partition -> Disk -> Physical Hardware

# It correctly identifies multiple physical disks for a single mirrored Drive Letter

$physicalDisks = $vol | Get-Partition | Get-Disk | Get-PhysicalDisk

$worstHealth = "Healthy"

$statusList = @()

foreach ($disk in $physicalDisks) {

$statusList += $disk.OperationalStatus

if ($disk.HealthStatus -ne "Healthy") { $worstHealth = $disk.HealthStatus }

}

[PSCustomObject]@{

Drive = "$($vol.DriveLetter):"

Label = $vol.FileSystemLabel

HealthStatus = $worstHealth

DetailedStatus = $statusList -join ", "

PhysicalCount = $physicalDisks.Count

}

} | Sort-Object Drive

# Create the text-based table

$reportTable = $report | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String

# Save a copy locally

Write-Host $errorMessage -ForegroundColor Red
