Use <code>esxtop</code> on the service console and switch to the disk monitor. Enable views for latency, you will see values like GAVG, KAVG and DAVG. | Use <code>esxtop</code> on the service console and switch to the disk monitor.

Latency occurs when the hypervisor or physical storage cannot keep pace with the demand for IO | Latency occurs when the hypervisor or physical storage cannot keep pace with the demand for IO |
