Hi guys

I work professionally with video editing and I would like to know if there is any way to monitor how hard my disks are working. I get there are plenty of software out there to measure how fast my disks can read and write by themslves, but I want to monitor them over time while I am working to see if I am close or already maxing out. The same way Task Manager let's me monitor how much % of the CPU and RAM I am using. A way to see if my storage is a bottleneck.

I am currently running a RAID setup with HDDs but I would like to know if there's actually headroom for another editor to work over the same RAID setup simultaneously without any decrease in performance.

Any software solution out there for this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Alexander

If you're willing to do a little work, you can use Rainmeter and the HWiNFO plugin to build yourself a customized display that only shows the information you care about.
