CompressionMethod

Free-form string specifying the algorithm or tool used by the device to support compression. If you cannot describe the compression scheme, use the following words: "Unknown" (it is not known whether the device supports compression), "Compressed" (the device supports compression but its compression scheme is not known or not disclosed), or "Not Compressed" (the device does not support compression).

DefaultBlockSize

Default block size, in bytes, for the device.

Units	Bytes	None	TRANSLATABLE= true

MaxBlockSize

Maximum block size, in bytes, for media accessed by the device.

Units	Bytes	None	TRANSLATABLE= true

MaxMediaSize

Maximum size, in kilobytes, of media supported by the device. In this context, a kilobyte is defined as one byte multiplied by 1000 (NOT one byte multiplied by 1024).

MediaType

Type of media. Values are Removable media (0), which means cartridge and disk-based storage devices that can be used to move data easily between computers (for example, floppy disks, compact disks, flash memory cards, and external storage devices, such as USB flash drives); Fixed hard disk (1), which means unremovable media; and Unknown (2). No default value.

Capabilities

List of device capabilities. This is a character attribute that allows you to enter any value you want. However, you should enter only the values listed in this description. You can enter more than one of these values. Possible values are Unknown, Other, Sequential Access, Random Access, Supports Writing, Encryption, Compression, Supports Removeable Media, Manual Cleaning, Automatic Cleaning, SMART Notification, Supports Dual Sided Media (which means the device can automatically access both sides of dual-sided media; it does not read only one side and then require the media to be manually flipped), and Predismount Eject Not Required (which means media does not have to be explicitly ejected from the device before being accessed by a picker).
