Ok, yeah, iostat will give you information on sectors per second and transfers per second, but really, that's not a whole lot. The msps measurement doesn't seem to be implemented at all. There was a lot of talk several years ago about adding some measurements that would have been usefull (things like number of tasks waiting on the disk), but as far as I can tell nothing ever got done with those.
