i have tried to get how many removable drives are connected to mac.

coz when i use this

struct statfs *buf = NULL;
	unsigned ii, count = 0;
	
	count = getmntinfo(&buf, 0);
	for (ii=0; ii<count; ii++)
	{
		char *volName = buf[ii].f_mntonname;
		printf("Volume: %s\n", volName);
	}

its give all mounted drives not only valid strorage drives.

If this is an actual Mac app, look at the documentation for the NSWorkspace class.

can u please more specific about NSWorkspace because there is so many methods and functions in this class so i don't understand which one is use for this.

if possible can u please provide me any sample app.

(S)he suggested to look at NSWorkspace, which is by itself very specific.

i am get the list by this

NSArray *removableDrivesPaths = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] mountedRemovableMedia];

but its also display mounted drive of .dmg

i just want only removable drives like i connected a drive to mac.

Sounds like you need to start investigating the attributes of the mountedRemovableMedia... start going through the documentation (which someone already provided) and see how you can tell the difference between a mounted .dmg and a mounted external drive.
