  Hi,

  How can I measure the disk reads and writes to see if I need to add aditional disks to the server?

  thank you

  Why do you think you need an additional disk?

  What problem are you trying to solve?

  Hi,

  There are performance counter for the disks.

  You can measure for example

  Avg. Disk Sec/Read and Avg. Disk sec/Write counters

  in the Performance monitor tool (perfmon.exe). You can find them under Physical or Logical disks counters.
