STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure (minitape.h)
The STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure reports device capabilities to the Storport driver in response to a capabilities query in a SCSI request block (SRB) with a function of SRB_FUNCTION_PNP. STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES is a subset of the DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure containing the members relevant to storage devices.

Members
Version
Specifies the version of the structure. Storport sets this field to STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES_EX_VERSION_1.
DeviceD1
Specifies whether the device hardware supports the D1 power state. Miniport drivers set this bit to 0.
DeviceD2
Specifies whether the device hardware supports the D2 power state. Miniport drivers set this bit to 0.
LockSupported
Specifies whether the device supports physical-device locking that prevents device ejection. This member pertains to ejecting a LUN or a unit device.
EjectSupported
Specifies whether the device supports software-controlled device ejection while the system is in the PowerSystemWorking state. This member pertains to ejecting a LUN or unit device.
Removable
Specifies whether the device can be dynamically removed from its immediate parent. If Removable is set to TRUE, the device does not belong to the same physical object as its parent.
If Removable is set to TRUE, the device is displayed in the Unplug or Eject Hardware program, unless SurpriseRemovalOK is also set to TRUE.
DockDevice
Specifies whether the device is a docking peripheral.
UniqueID
Specifies whether the device's instance ID is unique system-wide. This bit is clear if the instance ID is unique only within the scope of the bus.
SilentInstall
Specifies whether Device Manager should suppress all installation dialog boxes; except required dialog boxes such as "no compatible drivers found."
SurpriseRemovalOK
Specifies whether the miniport driver for the device can handle the case where the device is removed before Storport can send SRB_FUNCTION_PNP with StorRemoveDevice as the PnPAction in the SCSI_PNP_REQUEST_BLOCK structure. If SurpriseRemovalOK is set to TRUE, the device can be safely removed from its immediate parent regardless of the state that its driver is in.
NoDisplayInUI
Do not display the device in the user interface. If this bit is set, the device is never displayed in the user interface, even if the device is present but fails to start. Miniport drivers do not set this bit.
Remarks
When a miniport driver receives an SRB in its HwStorStartIo routine where the SRB function is SRB_FUNCTION_PNP, the SRB is formatted as a SCSI_PNP_REQUEST_BLOCK structure. If the PnPAction member of the SRB is StorQueryCapabilities, the miniport can return a STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure in the DataBuffer member of the SRB.
Storport sends this structure to the miniport with all members initialized to 0. On return, only the Removable field is used from this structure.
Starting with Windows 8, miniports should use the STOR_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES_EX structure to indicate support for additional capabilities.
