First, I think other forums/lists have been suggested in the past
for Macintosh-related UI discussions, so that's probably the better
place to put this discussion, but ...
Usually a 'source list' (which is what this essentially is) is on
the left side of the window. I would suggest a standard source list in
that the currently-selected drive in the source list gets its
information displayed above or below the graph somewhere (like its
details) in addition to a single "measure" action button. Perhaps
selecting multiple drives and clicking the "measure" button would
automatically test each drive and append its information to the graph.
Critical are the following: a) list of available drives to measure,
b) necessary information about the selection, and c) the graph.
Perhaps the workflow could be:
1 - Select drives to measure (multiple)
2 - Click 'measure' button
3 - Wait for measurements
4 - Display/examine measurements in graph
5 - Go to 1 as needed
That would be most Mac-like. Hope that helps. Followups should
probably be taken to another list/forum (I don't know any off-hand).
