Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
It would be nice if all drives connected to the system were listed and their percent 'in use' or 'percent available'
### Scenario when this would be used?
Once in a while, I make a script mistake where some component of system resource usage goes to 100%. It is cumbersome to get control of the computer to stop whatever is causing the problem. With the right monitors running I have a chance of stopping the problem before it becomes difficult to get control of the computer.
### Supporting information
I had started accumulating PowerShell scripts to meet the need, but PowerToys has already done so much, I think it would be nice to go a little further.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing bar implementation and its monitored-component list, then determine how drive usage should be represented; done means all connected drives appear with a clear used or available percentage.
