![]() Oh, I forgot… here’s a word from the developer of DiskLED: Visit the DiskLED home page to learn more and/or download DiskLED – you’ll be glad you did…I think! Those of you who just want to run it and see the flashing green activity light, you can do that too. Yikes!īe sure to read the information on the developer’s page if you want to get the most from the program. Mine’s flashing right now because I’ve got about 24 programs open and only 4 GB of RAM. You don’t want to be in a situation where Windows uses your hard drive as memory – that’s not good. If you see it flashing green all the time, then your computer is probably running slowly because either you’re doing too much multi-tasking or you don’t have enough RAM. If you don’t see anything there after you click the exe, it’s because your hard drive is not be accessed. It will show in your system tray (next to the clock). Just download, unzip, and click the exe file. And besides all the reasons why you’d want to see hard drive access activity, the little green light is pretty cool in its own right. If the hard drive is being access even when you’re not using your computer, then you probably don’t have enough RAM. Now with laptops and some new desktops many of us don’t have the LED indicator so we can’t easily see how much our hard drives are being accessed. Back in the day, most of us had very little RAM and the little green light was flickering constantly because the hard drive was not only being accessed by requests you were making (running programs, writing emails, etc.) but also because Windows was carving out huge chunks of virtual memory. Back in the day when Desktops ruled, there used to be a little LED light in the front of the tower that showed your hard drive activity.
