IDE controller
The following information is provided for an IDE controller.
IDE Controller Status
• Transfers/Sec—Number of requests between the server and this IDE controller each second
• MBytes/Sec—Sum of all megabytes transferred (read and written) between the server and
this IDE controller each second
• Millisec/Transfer—Average time for each request to complete
• Queue Length—Average number of concurrent requests between the server and this IDE
controller, including transfers currently being serviced and transfers waiting for service,
regardless of where the request is waiting (disk or controller)
IDE controller status is determined by the performance status of the ATA disks attached to the
controller and the IDE channels connecting the ATA disks to the controller.

• Controller Configuration
Controller identification, including controller model and PCI slot (if applicable)◦
◦ Number of disk arrays on the controller (if applicable)

• Writes/Sec—Number of writes to this ATA disk each second
• Read MBytes/Sec—Average number of megabytes read from the ATA disk each second
• Write MBytes/Sec—Average number of megabytes written to the ATA disk each second
• Millisec/Read—Average time for each read to complete
• Millisec/Write—Average time for each write to complete
• Queue Length—Average number of concurrent requests between the server and this ATA disk
(Queue Length is the primary indicator of ATA disk performance, whether the disk is part of
an array)
