Need API document for intel data center tool(isdct).

idata — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:22:36 GMT

I need to get SSD serial number and number of blocks used and some of the SSD characteristics through my code.

So I need to use Intel.SSDFeatures.2.0.0.dll. Is there any API document available for development purpose.

Hi PrakasheRam,

We would like to inform you that we don't have an API available for Intel® Data Center Tool.

However, you could use the SMART attributes to create the program. SMART is a standard and therefore you could base your code on it.

Some SMART attributes may vary depending on the SSD model, but there are some legacy ID's that would go through for most of the devices.

From us, you could use the SMART attributes available at Intel® Solid-State Drive Toolbox, Intel® Data Center Tool and the product specs.

Here are some interesting external sites for your reference:
