[QUOTE="bluefloyd8, post: 745651, member: 70643"] Hey Everyone! Does Disk Activity show the activity of my MacBook's internal HD or the activity of all hard drives (I have an external one also). I have written a pretty CPU intensive python script which renders images into video. It has to open and close a large library of large images, and do it frequently. So, I am use an external hard drive as a scratch disk and not saving any of the rendered files to my MacBook's HD. The Disk Activity is huge (256-512 KB / sec) and I am worried that my main internal HD is getting written to frequently. [/QUOTE]
