from PyKDE4.solid import *
Inherits: Solid.DeviceInterface → QObject
Subclasses: Solid.OpticalDrive
Namespace: Solid
Detailed Description
This device interface is available on storage devices.
A storage is anything that can contain a set of volumes (card reader, hard disk, cdrom drive...). It's a particular kind of block device.

Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| QObject | backendObject | |||
| ) |
Creates a new StorageDrive object. You generally won't need this. It's created when necessary using Device.as().
- Parameters:
-
backendObject the device interface object provided by the backend
- See also:
- Solid.Device.as()
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| StorageDrivePrivate | dd, | |||
| QObject | backendObject | |||
| ) |
- Internal:
| Solid.StorageDrive.Bus bus | ( | self ) |
Retrieves the type of physical interface this storage device is connected to.
- Returns:
- the bus type
- See also:
- Solid.Ifaces.Enums.StorageDrive.Bus
| Solid.DeviceInterface.Type deviceInterfaceType | ( | ) |
Get the Solid.DeviceInterface.Type of the StorageDrive device interface.
- Returns:
- the StorageDrive device interface type
- See also:
- Solid.Ifaces.Enums.DeviceInterface.Type
| Solid.StorageDrive.DriveType driveType | ( | self ) |
Retrieves the type of this storage drive.
- Returns:
- the drive type
- See also:
- Solid.Ifaces.Enums.StorageDrive.DriveType
| bool isHotpluggable | ( | self ) |
Indicates if this storage device can be plugged or unplugged while the computer is running.
- Returns:
- true if this storage supports hotplug, false otherwise
| bool isRemovable | ( | self ) |
Indicates if the media contained by this drive can be removed.
For example memory card can be removed from the drive by the user, while partitions can't be removed from hard disks.
- Returns:
- true if media can be removed, false otherwise.
