How do you monitor I/O on individual devices in windows?

2

Can anyone tell me if there's a handy little utility out there that will monitor and display the I/O charts for individual drives on windows?

On linux Gkrellm is great for this.

You might look into xperf, but writing a decent answer on this is outside my expertise since I barely ever actually use it. – Shinrai – 2011-05-21T15:52:02.870

What devices do you want to monitor?
There is a perfmon.exe out of the box from windows for system monitoring:

  • USB: Average Bytes /Transfer
  • Physical Disk: Average Disk Bytes/Transfer
  • Network Interface: Bytes Total/ sec
  • etc.
