# Advanced Insights "Storage" Dashboard

*Applies to: Patch My PC Advanced Insights*

{% hint style="info" %}
This dashboard requires deployment of the [Advanced Insights Inventory Extensions](/patch-my-pc-insights/advanced-insights-inventory-extensions.md)
{% endhint %}

This dashboard hosts two primary tables.&#x20;

### Disks and Logical Partitions

The top table lists physical disk, the partitions defined on that disk and the logical drives created on that partition. For example:

Here, a a machine has five physical disks, Disk #0 has three partitions, but only one of these partitions has a logical drive with a drive letter (C:) defined (the "missing" partitions in this instance are the Windows Recovery Partition and the EFI System Partition). That partition is allocated 232.3GB of a 232.9GB disk (\~100% of the drive) and the logical disk is 232.3GB in size with 168.2GB free space, i.e. it is 27.6% used.

### Physical Storage Device Health

The storage health statistics are gathered from Windows S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) tools.&#x20;

Each disk presents the data it supports (not all disks report PowerOn statistics, or temperature,  these are listed where available). We can see the wear statistic reported by SMART. The higher the wear percentage, the more likely it is that the disk will fail.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-insights/dashboard-guides/advanced-insights-hardware-dashboard/advanced-insights-storage-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
