@@TOTAL_READ

To display a report containing several SQL Server statistics, including read and write activity, run sp_monitor.

The following example shows returning the total number of disk read and writes as of the current date and time.

Copy 
SELECT @@TOTAL_READ AS 'Reads', @@TOTAL_WRITE AS 'Writes', GETDATE() AS 'As of'

Here is the result set.

Copy 
Reads       Writes      As of
