Thanks !!!!!!

Hi,

Thanks for your question!

The Cyan and Coral (orange?) circles are simple indicators, just like LEDs showing that the hard disk is currently performing a READ (cyan) or WRITE (orange) operation. As you may notice, these indicators are displayed if the corresponding line (current read rate / current write rate) is above 0 KB/s, indicating that a read or write operation is currently active.

The graph on the bottom shows the ACTUAL value of disk activity / transfer rate with cyan line and an AVERAGE value with red line (average of the last measured actual values).
For example, if you start a copy operation, you may see that the cyan line jumps immediately (reflecting that the operation is active) and the red line follows it slower. This average is useful upon lots of disk operations at the same time (for example if different software constantly access the hard disk) as then this average may reflect the disk activity / transfer rate better - instead of the constantly changing actual values.
