Always filter as far left in your pipeline as possible

[Guy Leech]

Your Get-CimInstance call will return all win32_volume objects and then filter them whereas the more efficient way to do this kind of query is to use the -Filter parameter to Get-CimInstance

Get-CimInstance -classname win32_volume -Filter "filesystem = 'cimfs'" | Select-Object -Property name, filesystem, DeviceID
