    have you checked by putting proper counter in perfmon(performance monitor).

    You can get these details there as well.

    If you interested in tool, then I use quest PA/Spotlight and they are really one of the best.

    SQLIO doesn't test SQL server IO exclusively. It's better for all round IO testing and pushing the SAN to find it's limits. Check the Microsoft documentation that comes with SQLIO!
