Hi Guys.

We have SQL 2005 installed on a HP DL 380 Server Dual 2GB RAM.

The MDF and LDF files are located on the D drive of the server.

The Average Disk Write Queue length looks like this over a period of 10 days, is this OK?

6 ms

Those do not look like valid disk queue lengths. 6 ms is a unit of time, while a disk queue length is a count.

Where are you getting these numbers?
