The following disk has low idle time - SBS2003

Hello all.  I've recently started seeing the below message on two of my SBS2003 boxes.  One logs it at about 2.30am and the other around 7.20am.  I've noted the explanation about reviewing the disk transfers and looking at the processes, but there is nothing obvious to see when doing so.  Is this a log I should be worrying about, or should I be changing the threshold?  Thanks in advance.

 

The following disk has low idle time, which may cause slow response time when reading or writing files to the disk.

Disk: 0 C:

Review the Disk Transfers/sec and % Idle Time counters for the PhysicalDisk performance object. If the Disk Transfers/sec counter is consistently below 150 while the % Idle Time counter remains very low (close to 0), there may be a problem with the disk driver or hardware.

If the review shows that the disk is functioning properly, use Task Manager to determine which processes are causing the majority of the disk activity. You can attempt to correct the problem by stopping and then restarting those processes.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.
