Hard Disk Activity Monitor

A 10-LED indicator to show how hard it’s working

Published in issue 423, March 2012

Hard Disk Activity Monitor
Almost every PC case is fitted with an LED on the front panel which flickers whenever the hard disk(s) is accessed. A single flickering light is better than nothing at all but a 10-LED linear scale showing hard disk loading as a percentage would be really handy!

Extra info, Updates

• A display using 10 LEDs indicates hard drive activity
• Displays hard drive activity in 10 % steps
• Crash proof operation (independent of PC software)
• Neat compact module fits easily inside a PC case
