SharePoint High Disk I/O?
After running a web performance load test, I noticed that my SharePoint farm (consisting of 2WFEs, 1DB, 1Domain Controller) has high Disk I/O, what can be the cause for this and what I can do to lower it?
Both WFEs had the following key performance metrics: CPu ~ 20%, Memory ~ 15%, Disk ~ 95%, and Network Out ~ 45.3 Mbps.
Thank you!

Could you please tell us more detail about your web performace load test.
I guess the disk I/O on the WFEs is caused by the BLOB cache. Please read what follows for detail:
