On Screen Hard Drive Activity LED

Posted Nov 20, 2009 | by Jason Faulkner | No Comments  

You are probably very familiar with the hard drive activity LED that seems to constantly be blinking on either your desktop or laptop case. As a better alternative to this simple indicator, FloatLED puts this information directly on your desktop.

Something FloatLED does that your case light cannot is it can tell you want drive is actually working. If you have multiple disks in your system, this can be very useful as you can actually see the source of the ‘grinding’. Additionally, if you are working on a remote system (via Terminal Services, Log Me In, etc.), by firing up this application you instantly have access to this information on the system you are connected to.

While this is probably not for everyone (i.e. you have a laptop with one disk), for those of you who do have a use for it, FloatLED is a great utility.
