A Physical Disk object type is a hard or fixed disk drive. It will contain 1 or more logical partitions. Disks are used to store file, program, and paging data. The disk is read to retrieve these items, and written to record changes to them.
Disk Read Time is the percentage of elapsed time that the selected disk drive is busy servicing read requests.

Disk Queue Length is the number of requests outstanding on the disk at the time the performance data is collected. It includes requests in service at the time of the snapshot. This is an instantaneous length, not an average over the time interval. Multi-spindle disk devices can have multiple requests active at one time, but other concurrent requests are awaiting service. This counter may reflect a transitory high or low queue length, but if there is a sustained load on the disk drive, it is likely that this will be consistently high. Requests are experiencing delays proportional to the length of this queue minus the number of spindles on the disks. This difference should average less than 2 for good performance.
