    Greetings -- I'm at work, and we're trying to gauge the disk I/O on a server2003 system, because it's getting ready to be collapsed into a SAN. Can PerfMon do this, or is there some other sort of *free* 3rd party util that can show me the real-time disk I/O?

    I ask, because this particular server sits dormant for a large portion of time, then it will be called on to process some data, and when it does this, the server sweats bullets, and we know its mostly disk I/O, but we need to know how much....

    Thanks in advance!

    You can add columns in Task Manager - Process tab that will show you related info.

    I was able to find all the disk-counters I needed. -I used Reads and Writes per second, as well as queue legnth.
