Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have multiple drives and often forget which drive letter is which drive.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be lovely if the drop-down drive letter selector could also show the drive make/model, e.g. Plextor W4012TA.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Sticky labels on the drives!

Additional context
I hope this is not too tricky! Many thanks for this app.

Current framework makes this near-impossible due to reliance on strangely-written Windows-only libraries in the UI. I'll leave this open as a later suggestion.

Couldn't MPF access the Windows WMIC?

Command line:
wmic CDROM get Drive,Name

Result:
Drive Name
D: ASUS BW-16D1HT
