Description:  Provides the total amount of time spent physically writing data or index pages from the buffer pool to disk.

Usage:  You can use this element with "Buffer Pool Data Writes" and "Buffer Pool Index Writes" to calculate the average page-write time. This average is important since it may indicate the presence of an I/O wait, which in turn may indicate that you should be moving data to a different device.

At the database and table space levels, this element includes the value of "Buffer Pool Asynchronous Write Time".
