The top pane of the display shows a graphical representation of the entire disk system as Windows sees it. The Disk Activity tab provides a patented graphical disk analysis system that breaks down disk activity and latency at the controller, physical disk, and file level, highlighting bottlenecks at any point in a disk system. For more information about troubleshooting WMI on your system, see the WMI Troubleshooting MSDN article.ĭisk bottlenecks represent one of the most common sources of performance problems for Windows and SQL Server. Additional Information: If the Disk Activity tab or the Disk Space tab does not display, there could be an issue with WMI on the system you're monitoring.
