This is pretty old  but I found following worth noting   PS N   gt   measure-command  Get-WmiObject -Class Win32 LogicalDisk select -property deviceid      deviceid  out-host   totalmilliseconds     928 7403 PS N   gt   measure-command  gdr -psprovider  filesystem       name  out-host   totalmilliseconds     169 474   Without filtering properties  on my test system  4319 4196ms to 1777 7237ms  Unless I need a PS-Drive object returned  I ll stick with WMI   EDIT   I think we have a winner   PS N    measure-command   System IO DriveInfo   getdrives        name  out-host   to  talmilliseconds 110 9819

We have multiple volumes per drive  some are mounted on subdirectories on the drive   This code shows a list of the mount points and volume labels  Obviously you can also extract free space and so on   gwmi win32 volume where-object     filesystem -match  ntfs   sort     name   foreach-object     echo    echo    name     echo    label

Firstly  on Unix you use mount  not ls  mnt  many things are not mounted in  mnt   Anyhow  there s the mountvol DOS command  which continues to work in Powershell  and there s the Powershell-specific Get-PSDrive

Though this isn t  powershell  specific    you can easily list the drives and partitions using diskpart  list volume  PS C  Dev gt  diskpart  Microsoft DiskPart version 6 1 7601 Copyright  C  1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation  On computer  Box  DISKPART gt  list volume  Volume      Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  -------- Volume 0     D                       DVD-ROM         0 B  No Media Volume 1         C   System   NTFS   Partition    100 MB  Healthy    System Volume 2     G   C   Box      NTFS   Partition    244 GB  Healthy    Boot Volume 3     H   D   Data     NTFS   Partition    687 GB  Healthy Volume 4     E   System Rese  NTFS   Partition    100 MB  Healthy
