Is there a way to read disk access times in python? There is numerous scripts I've found in c/c++. Just wondering if there's one for pure python or cython. Looking for similar functionality to WHDD or MHDD.

If this is for windows you can right click the bar on the bottom of your screen, choose joblist -> (tab) peformance -> Disc, here you will find basic data of the disc IE response time, at the bottom there's also a link called "recource survailence" mine is in danish so sorry if the translation is wrong there, in there will be a bit more data.
UPDATE
from win32com.client import Dispatch
from time import time
starttime = time()
Dispatch('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
endtime = time() - starttime
print(endtime)
this is the only way i can come up with to find out, and i don't know how to do it sector by sector

Ok. But is that a sector by sector scan? Also this is for a future software suite I'm planning on developing. Need the results from it in code somehow – Jakar510 Sep 15 '18 at 23:30
