Disk writes/sec value

I picked up the disk writes/sec for a particular physical
disk and noticed it shoot to 2800 at times..
What does that mean ? There are 2800 writes to that array
that may comprise of 6 disks or so..
Jamie,

But what exactly is it your trying to determine? The best counter(s) to
view for an overall indication of how busy your disks are is the current
(and average) disk queues.
