    Hello!

    I have an array in my SAN that have high % disk time (avg 70 or so), but booth the avg. disk read queue length and the avg. disk write queue length are well below 1.

    What does this mean?

    % disk time has no relevence in servers (with SCSI/SAS/FC drives)
    disregard it

    i know some people say it should below xx
    but they do not know what they are talking about
    their experience is based on IDE/SATA drives
