Disk Performance

Interested in seeing how well your hard drives are performing? If so, you need to turn on the performance monitor and test them out. Be forewarned that this will put a slight strain on the drives, so only turn on the disk monitors when you want to test your drives

Open a DOS prompt and type in 'diskperf -y' and press ENTER. Restart the machine. Now, you can open the Performance Monitor administrator utility and check your disk drive performance. Once you are done checking the results, turn off the monitors. Open a DOS prompt and type in 'diskperf -n' and press ENTER. Restart the machine.
