I am collecting information on hard drive type as well as usage and have found that I have to use two WMI objects to gather all the required information. The below script is working for me but I would like to output the information to a file and I cannot seem to figure this one out. Due to all of the formatting nothing seems to be working, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

$Computers =  "."
Clear-Host
foreach ($Computer in $Computers) 
{
    $computerFreeSpace = get-wmiobject Win32_logicaldisk -Computer $Computer -Filter drivetype=3
    $computerHDDType = get-WmiObject win32_diskdrive -Computer $Computer 
        Write-host "System Information for: " $computerSystem.Name  
        "HDD Model: " + $computerHDDType.Model + " HDD Capacity: "  + "{0:N2}" -f ($computerFreeSpace.Size/1GB) + "GB" + " HDD Space: " + "{0:P2}" -f ($computerFreeSpace.FreeSpace/$computerFreeSpace.Size) + " Free (" + "{0:N2}" -f ($computerFreeSpace.FreeSpace/1GB) + "GB)"
     
        "-------------------------------------------------------"`
        }

Instead of write-host, use write-output and pipe it to out-file :¬)

Previously I had tried write-output and converted it to html, it came out with one asterisk. Trying again just using write-output to a simple text file works, guess I should have tried that first.

Thank you for your help!
