Performance Monitor

Resource Monitor (Disk Activity)

Image shows the process executable file name.PID shows the process id.Read (B/Sec), Write (B/Sec) and Total (B/Sec) show the average bytes per second in the last 60 seconds.I/O Priority can be Normal, Background, ...For Response Time (ms) anything below 10 ms is considered ok, over 20 ms warrants attention, over 50ms suggests a serious issue.Active Time (%) consistently over ~80% may suggests a bottleneck.Average Disk Queue Length is complicated... consistently high numbers are bad, but what constitutes a high number is influenced by many factors in the underlying storage (e.g. number of spindles, RAID level, stripe size etc)... for a single disk, a value of 2 is considered high and over 5 would be considered critical, but for a LUN with 10 spindles values would generally not be considered high until over 20.
