How to Easily Monitor System Performance with the new DiskLED 1.1
Published by Helge Klein on 11/19/2009 | 2 Comments | 3,709 Views

DiskLED is a small tool that displays performance counter data using an animated system tray icon. The new version 1.1 comes with a graphical configuration dialog that lets you choose from all performance counters available on the local system - you can monitor network throughput just as easily as hard disk activity or memory usage. In this article I am going to show you how to do that.

DiskLED - A Flexible Hard Disk and General System Activity Indicator System Tray Applet
Published by Helge Klein on 10/19/2009 | 16 Comments | 9,359 Views

What do you do when your computer reacts sluggishly to even the simplest commands? You probably look at its hard disk LED to determine if the disk is busy, because if it is, the only thing that really helps is waiting (apart from buying a faster disk or SSD). Problem solved - if you are sitting right next to the machine. But what if you are using a protocol like RDP or ICA to connect to a remote computer or VM? No HDD LED, no quick and simple way to check for hard drive activity. This has been bugging me enough to write a software replacement: DiskLED.

File Copy Performance to USB Drive Oscillating Between Fast and Slow
Published by Helge Klein on 05/26/2009 | 3 Comments | 10,278 Views

I just had the "pleasure" of having to copy the contents of a terabyte USB disk to another similar USB drive. At first, I did not give this simple task much thought. I plugged the USB cables in and made my faithful Total Commander do the work. It did not take me long, though, to notice a strange phenomenon: the copy speed would oscillate between 8 and 24 MB/s.
