Need an application that allows you to monitor all your hard drive activities in real time. Well, I think you just check out Free HDD LED.

What is the big deal about this program?

Free HDD LED is a small, light utility. It displays all your hard drive activities all in real time either in the systray area or on the keyboard. It also monitors all physical hard disk drives connected to your computer. It has a free disk space monitor (works also for pendrives, network drives and TrueCrypt drives). It allows you to set the HDD refresh interval.

My Portable Software, publisher of this program, has added quite a few changes to this version. They include: Floppy disk drive (disk letter A 🙂 is no more scanned (believe it or not, there are some computers that still has floppy drive!). This will prevent “floppy noise” to be reproduced. Shorter time for system scan: when plugging an USB drive the system is scanned for the new drive letter for 20 seconds instead of 1 minute and Internal code updates.

Any downsides?

This is a cool piece of little application everyone should have on their computer. This light weight utility serves its purpose real good and is very promising. It requires Admin rights though which could make the startup process a bit of a pain. The publishers also should come up with an option that allows you to select specific drives.
