Integrate the library in your own application

Sample code

static class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //You can enable logging and set level, if you need logging output
        Logger.Instance.IsEnabled = true;
        Logger.Instance.LogLevel = LogLevel.Trace;

        //Get all storage devices
        var disks = Storage.GetDisks();

        //Go through all devices
        foreach (var disk in disks)
        {
            //Output Model of storage device
            Console.WriteLine($"Detected storage device '{disk.ProductName}' ('{disk.DisplayName}').");
        }

        //Register change event
        Storage.DevicesChanged += DevicesChanged;

        var secondsToWait = 10;

        //Wait for specified amount of time and listen to device changes
        Console.WriteLine($"Waiting {secondsToWait} seconds for device changes.");
        Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(secondsToWait));

        //Update devices once
        foreach (var disk in Storage.CurrentDisks)
        {
            //Refresh device data and output if there were changes compared to cached data
            if (Storage.Refresh(disk))
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Refreshed - changes detected: '{disk.ProductName}' ('{disk.DisplayName}')");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Refreshed - no changes detected: '{disk.ProductName}' ('{disk.DisplayName}')");
            }
        }

        //Unregister change event
        Storage.DevicesChanged -= DevicesChanged;

        //Save log file to current directory, if you enabled logging output
        Logger.Instance.SaveToFile("Log.txt", false);

        //All done
        Console.WriteLine("Press enter to exit...");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static void DevicesChanged(object sender, StorageDevicesChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        //Check if there are changes, if not we can ignore this event
        if (!e.HasChanges)
        {
            return;
        }

        //Simple output of added devices
        if (e.Added != null)
        {
            foreach (var added in e.Added)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Added: '{added.ProductName}' ('{added.DisplayName}')");
            }
        }

        //Simple output of removed devices
        if (e.Removed != null)
        {
            foreach (var removed in e.Removed)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Removed: '{removed.ProductName}' ('{removed.DisplayName}')");
