Thanks in advance

The alarm is calculated based on the data from disk_util.sda. Please read the description of the chart

Disk Utilization measures the amount of time the disk was busy with something. This is not related to its performance. 100% means that the system always had an outstanding operation on the disk. Keep in mind that depending on the underlying technology of the disk, 100% here may or may not be an indication of congestion.

You can most likely ignore it unless you are using a disk with a legacy controller.
