    How do we know that if a drive is a SAN drive or a regular drive. How do we figure out that.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums.
    Though its not a direct-SQL question, but still valid that its related to SQL Management so here is your answer:
    There are few ways to find the information about the hardware, thru Control Panel or registry or WMI etc.
    On that server goto Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management ---> Disk management.
    Also from
    command prompt and type "net use" to get a list of drive letters and mappings. These could be NAS, SAN etc but all other drives not listed should be local.
