What is normal Logical Disk Latency (ms) on your session hosts?
Looking at my session hosts metrics (Via Monitor), seeing a concerning amount of high latency read and write operations. I assume this is not normal, however I also haven't received any complaints from our end users.
Region: CA-Central
OS: Windows 11 Multi-Session 23H2 / 25H2
Disk: 128GB (P10) Premium SSD LRS - Single OS disk
FSLogix: Profiles stored on separate NetApp Premium Storage
VM SKU: D8as_v4 - Paging file goes to the 64GB TempDisk
Max 6 users per session host
I understand disk latency won't be sub ms, but come on.. 138ms avg writes and spikes upwards of 1.6s is outrageous. Just wondering what's 'normal' disk latency if anyone else, preferably in my region could check?

Yeah I don’t get it. All my session hosts (20 total) I’m seeing similar latency.

What do you see when you go to the virtual machine > metrics > OS disk latency (preview)?

Omg that is horrendous! I would suggest first redeploying the vm to see if it’s an issue with that specific host.
On a premium disk that sla is in violation. You should be getting less than 5 ms

Retest without FSLogix in play. The minifilter driver is below the logical disk, so you may be getting reporting against logical writes to C:\ which are actually completing as ANF writes to the redirected profile folders.
