SQL Server accumulates every millisecond of file-level read and write wait in <code>sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats</code> — one row per database file, reset at each service restart. Joining that DMV to <code>sys.master_files</code> replaces raw file IDs with physical paths and file types, and dividing accumulated stall by operation count converts totals into the average milliseconds per read and per write that a storage or DBA team can act on.</p>
