In Windows 7/Server 2008R2, the "Resouce Monitor" in invaluable to me to track down disk I/O sluggishness to an individual file being written/read from.

I want this level of control on my WHS box as i've been having some issues lately that i've traced to poor disk performance solely based on seeing the HDD activity light on the server lit solid red when the sluggishness is occurring.

Can you recommend anything?
 
You could use Pmon.exe from the server 2003 resource kit, its cmd line driven though
 
Actually I just figured out what I needed to do and it looks like the standard Task Manager to the rescue! I wasn't aware you could add additional columns to the Processes tab. I've added I/O and I was able to track down this csrss.exe that is wreaking havoc on my server.

Time to dig into that one.. ;)
