Guest mttc Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I realize by monitoring my HD, that the system itself and many app make a lot of access to HD. it's seem to me that this lot of access to HD for nothing is unnecessary fro system with enough RAM. take for example, why outlook express need to access all the time (even is there no activity like read email!) to Temporary Internet Directory? Or ask your self, why VMW workstation (even I not open it, just I turn on my XP) is access to AppData\VMWatere directory? Have a way to prevent this behavior? perhaps move it to RAM? I not care that kind of unnessory Data lost when I turn my PC off. Have some tip? (I use with Windows Performance tools & File Monitor, have more good App to monitoring file access)

If the information is cached additionally in memory, you waste the memory too. mttc wrote: > I realize by monitoring my HD, that the system itself and many app > make a lot of access to HD. it's seem to me that this lot of access to > HD for nothing is unnecessary fro system with enough RAM. take for > example, why outlook express need to access all the time (even is > there no activity like read email!) to Temporary Internet Directory? > > Or ask your self, why VMW workstation (even I not open it, just I turn > on my XP) is access to AppData\VMWatere directory? > > Have a way to prevent this behavior? perhaps move it to RAM?

Guest R. McCarty Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: How reduce read/write from HD No tips, Disk I/O is keyed to processes and services running on the PC. The overall performance of the drive matters, access time, the rotational speed of the platters and the caching RAM count inside the drive. In normal operation there will always be disk activity. It might be beneficial to download SysInternal's tool Disk, FileMon to monitor Disk I/O in real-time. About the only thing you might do to lower Disk I/O is review/modify the system loading.

Now I will ask in new thread how to monitor the Low level Disk activity.
