Realtime Monitoring the read write usage of SSD's HDD's?

[aleksanderdev]

Hi.
Does any one know of a program that can monitor my drive usage?

What I'm interested in, is seeing how fast and how much data is pulled from my drives.

Reason:
I'm making game trailers and right now I'm trying to capture 4K gameplay in a quite demanding gam e.
I have 4 SSD's running in Strip 0 with a read write close to 2GB.
I am recording to those SSD's but I'm also playing my game from those.

A few questions I have.
How many megabytes per sec are read while simply playing the game without recording.
And than, how much data is written per sec to the disk while recording.

Why?
It be nice to know how much speed you actually need to eliminate Write read speeds as a bottleneck for 4k recording.
If it maxes out at 500-600 mb which i think is a good estimate, id be better off having 2x2ssds in raid 0. Running the game on 2 of theme, recording to 2 of theme.

Also another thing.
I'm trying to figure out whether or not it is possible to record from a second dedicated pc.
One to run the game, one to record it, encode it, compress it.
Thanks for the help

Well as for monitoring this program might help. I love it.

You do need either an Android or Blackberry device. You install the App on the devices, install the servers on the PC and you can view ALL kinds of data. Voltages, Temps, CPU Usage, RAM Usage, HDD Usage all in real time. So you could turn the app, and look at the usage of your SSD RAID with and without recording AND they have graphs that you can look at as well.

So it actually gives you the realtime read write speed?
I thought it would be really hard to get a hold of that data.

If a phone app can get it, there certainly should be pc software that can grab the same info.
Though i haven't found it yet.

So funny thing, Microsofts Resource Monitor does exactly what I want.
But it does not record in graphs.
Any software that does?
