perfmon counter ?

Question

Hello:

i need little help to understand this counter "Disk Read/sec"

if Disk Read/sec is 0.388 should i understand that Read/sec is 38.8 (39)

if Disk Read/sec is 122.238 should i understand that Read/sec is 12223.8 (12224)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You need not to multiple values if Disk Read/sec  to 100.

Disk Read/sec means number of reads from disk per seconds.

if Disk Read/sec is 0.388 that means 0.388 reads per second.

if Disk Read/sec is 122.238 that means 122.238 reads per second.

This counter will not give much picutre, you can use Avg. Disk sec/Read performance counter that indicates the average time, in seconds, of a read of data from the disk. The average value of the Avg. Disk sec/Read performance counter should be under 10 milliseconds. The maximum value of the Avg. Disk sec/Read performance counter should not exceed 50 milliseconds.

Thanks for your reply. so for sake of understanding how should i understand this Read/sec 0.388

should i understand that my read was negligible or what this number means?

Thanks

Answer 3

Read/sec 0.388 is seems negligible.

But mention before, This counter will not give much picutre, you need to look fo rAvg. Disk sec/Read performance counter as well.
