IO Top

I discovered a handy program for monitoring disk input/output on your computer. It’s called iotop, and it’s very familiar to top which tells you the programs that are using the most CPU or memory. So if you hear your hard drive thrashing, give sudo iotop a fire up (you may have to install it first by apt-get or your package manager).
