OBS S: Request: Harddrive monitor

So it's incredibly nifty that OBS Studio shows you the CPU impact on the bottom right. It's very useful sometimes, and i think it would actually help troubleshoot or gauge some thing if it also included how much data was being sent to the hard-drive so i could determine in real-time and quite simply if i was bottle-necking my system in some way.

With this added tool i could then make better decisions about what bitrate i use and so on for my local recordings. It also might be handy if it charted it out in as an optional window if i wanted to monitor the cpu and hard disk usage over a longer period of time.

Or you could use CRF/CQP based bitrate selection and let the encoder decide for you. CRF of 15 at 1080p60 only uses about 5-6mbyte/sec.
Typical hard drives are able to sustain 130mbyte/sec+
