Program to check realtime HDD usage?

[Careface]

I would love to have a program that does this, is there one? Basically as long as it can tell me how fast any of my HDDs are reading/writing at any one time, I would be happy. I know you can use windows task mangler to see I/O read/writes, but thats just inconvenient.

Reason I ask is, I transfer a lot of content across my HDDs, and from DVDRW->HDD etc, it would be lovely to see what kind of transfer rates I was getting :)

Any ideas?

Everything you need is in the Windows Performance monitor under the PhysicalDisk heading. You'd be surprised how many experienced admins don't know of or use this tool.

And where would this be located?

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Performance

you can then customize all your stats there

Hm, I dont have Performance. Im running x64, if that makes a difference. I have "Component Services", "Data Sources (ODBC)", "Desktop.ini" and "Event Viewer".. Im assuming there is no 3rd party app that does the same thing?

x64 makes no difference. Here's the shortcut's target in XP x64: %SystemRoot%\system32\perfmon.msc /s
