Disk Activity Indicator

If you've ever had a machine hang on you and you don't know if it's crashed or it's just very busy, you might have a use for Disk LED. This app displays disk activity so you'll know if your computer is working.

Simple Yet Effective

One side affect of Apple's desire to make their hardware as sleek and attractive as possible is that they don't put anything on the outside of their devices that they don't absolutely have to. This is great for looks, but can be a pain when you need to know if a disk is currently active. Disk LED sits in your status bar and acts as an indicator to show you when a given disk is being read or written to. You can choose the type of indicator, alter the refresh rate with which Disk LED checks the drive, and you can hover over an LED to see what drive it represents.

Effective at What it Does

If you need a disk activity indicator, Disk LED does the job and does it well. There are some niggling issues such as occasional unresponsiveness and not being able to choose the order the LEDs are in, but nothing serious.

  • Pros

    • Sits un-obtrusively in notification bar
    • Choice of different LED types
    • Customisable refresh rate
    • Hover over tool-tip to identify each drive
  • Cons

    • Has a tendency to be unresponsive for short periods
    • Cannot arrange order of LEDs in status bar
    • No option to label drives
    • Not many features for a paid app

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
