Hello,
I need to move about 130 users' home drives to another hard drive on the same server that they are hosted now. What is the best way to do this without having to go into each one by one?

It's the best way, but if you're using the GUI, you can hold down Ctrl and select multiple users (or shift the permissions or otherwise block access to the old share - in a way that's easy to undo.

I'm getting ready to release a tool that is only effective with regular hard drives, not SSD (solid state drive). In fact, it shouldn't be used with SSD's because it will result in a lot of read/writes with no real effectiveness.

Another.
You probably could use some characteristics of the drive (latency, speed, size), though this won't be accurate for all drives.
This also means that there is no general way to detect what they are.

But way.
Another way - detach database files (database->tasks->detach), move them to new drive and then attach again.
In the example above, it moves the MDF and LDF files to the D: drive.

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine)
My problem with this call is that if for some reason someone decided to remove the "windir" Env Var , this won't work.

So if you need a secure way to get((int)size); GetWindowsDirectory(sb, size); return sb.ToString(); }
So if you really need the drive.
