The case-mounted LED hard-disk activity indicator isn’t all that good for analysing hard-drive-activity with – Not only because it’s on the front of your computer case; which could be behind you as you view the screen, or under the desk, but also if you have multiple hard-drives you can’t tell which one is active.

Cue FloatLED: This clever little device brings your disk-activity LED on to your screen; which is where you look at everything else. – But not only does it tell you of drive-activity; it also tells you which drive the activity is from, and whether the activity is reading, writing, or both.

This will be a diamond for those of you who have more than one physical drive and know that one of them is making funny noises. – Or for those of you who like to imagine they’re flying the Star Ship Enterprise when they’re sitting at the screen; it’s another flashing indicator.

Beam me up Scotty.
