Uset GetLogicalDriveStrings()[^] to read all the available logical drives. Check for each drive type using GetDriveType()[^].

The drive having DRIVE_REMOVABLE as drive type and BusTypeSd as Bus type is either a pen drive or SD card.

You can check drive bus type using DeviceIoControl()[^] function.

Let me know if you anything else.
