Current Disk Usage Information Explained

From the Disk Usage page, there will be two sections of information to view. The first being the Current Disk Usage Information. This is the most important and has the most relevant information for when your disk may be filling up quickly. In the Current Disk Usage Information section, you will see the Device name, Size of the disk, how much has been Used, how much space is Available, an easy read Percentage of what has been Used, and the Mount Point where the disk is Mounted. When Identifying the disk that you are using, it helps to look at the Mount Point, as this will tell you the directory used for that disk.

IO Statistics Explained

If looking for how intensively your disks or partitions are being used, you can also view the IO (Input / Output) Statistics for the devices. This will be a table showing the Device, how many blocks the system writes and reads per second (Trans./Sec), which helps to measure the partition/disk’s ability to operate. The Blocks Read shows the rate of output for the device, Blocks Written showing the rate of input for the device. In the Total Blocks Read and Written, you can see how much information the hard drive has read or written.
