WinLED – is a substitute for non-visible disk LEDs and displays the disk activity by an animated icon in the Windows desktop system tray. The tool runs minimized in the notification area of Windows and when disk activity is detected, it will blink to signal that.WinLED uses color coding for the two types of activity, namely read and write. Thus, when the disk is accessed for writing purposes, the icon will become red, while for reading data, the icon will blink green. Unlike other products of this sort WinLED avoids the configurability of any system parameters but only shows the results of performance counter ‘Physical Disk’. This has the advantage that it also works in multi-user environments even if Windows has to deal with various users and languages in roaming mode.
