You need to use the association classes Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition and Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition to correlate a physical disk with a volume:

There are all the WMI classes to cover it all. The problem is your understanding of how a disk is used. Not as you think. The drive letters are not associated with disk drives. They are associated with logical volumes, so the class is CIM_StorageVolume. The drive is subdivided into partitions, and so one. To use WMI, you need to learn them all.

As to WMI representation of all those objects, you can start from a place like this one

and then find all the other relevant classes:
