   For me who sometime still use virtual floppy disks, the `MediaType` WMI   
   field is also needed to provide more accurate result. Because drive type `2`   
   (Removable Disk type) is also used for floppy drives and likely   
   LS-120/ZIP/JAZZ drives too. FYI, if it's a thumb drive including SD cards,   
   the media type would be `12` (Fixed Disk).
