Hello everyone, I ran the performance counter Physicaldisk > split io/sec on one of my database servers and there is a lot of split ios on the C:\ drive. That drive is specifically set aside for Win 2K Server. There is very little info on this counter, does anyone have any info that they can share with me? Thanks in advance.

From MSDN lib.
Although not exactly a disk-storage issue, disk fragmentation slows the transfer rate and seek times of your disk system and you need to monitor for increasing disk fragmentation. On single-disk systems, you can use the Split IO/sec counter to determine the degree of fragmentation of your disks. Defragment the disk if this counter rate is consistently high and run Disk Defragmenter periodically to keep stored data organized for best performance.
