Does this drive have a blinking light? When? Active ir inactive?

It blinks when syncing, and solid when done I believe. That's just on my MacBook Pro.

Here is a link to a firmware update- Your drive may already have this update but give it a try. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-207DBK

Not in my my experience, you have use the key(s) stroke to see the drive. and re install it it after to use keys again. This is in the user manual. and it does log every key stroke (maybe defective) not worth it. Robert C answer 2-25-2013

Sorry, never noticed. The eyes do light up when the flash drive is inserted, but never checked to see if it blinks.

Mine does this but the yellow light is blinking. Don't know why but unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes it... until the next time. :-/

Backlit (which is standard nowadays), I'm not sure about the optical drive...

Control Panel, Admin tools, disk management should see the drive even if not formatted yet. If it does not then you have a defective unit.

Hi, This drive is virtually silent unlike my other external hard drive which makes a lot of noise when active. How quite & cool this drive operates is one of the many things I like about it. It's possible yours could be defective. Maybe you could exchange it for another?

It does not. But I concurrently purchased one from amazon or Newegg for a very inexpensive amount (I'm sure it was under 5 dollars). So far, the drive has worked flawlessly.

When I plug into AC power, the light on the brick (the AC adapter) lights and stays steady. If your adapter is blinking at you, make sure you have a good solid connection to your AC outlet, and that nothing is bumping it. Also check your prongs to make sure they are not bent in, as if somehow they got squished or something. You can also check to see if you have power to the drive, you should feel it spin up -provided that the drive is good. The only light that I see flash is the activity light on the SATA converter. I suppose it is possible that you got a bad AC adapter.

Sorry, but the one I purchased just want out of its warranty and it died on me 1 week later. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRIVE FOR IMPORTANT DATA.When I now plug it in, all I hear is a click, click, click, so it is dead. I will never purchase another one of these!

Yes. There is a red LED in the center of the drive that flashes under the plastic. There is no "window" for the led, but it is bright enough that you can see it through the thin plastic casing of the rive. The LED flashes on when the drive is being accessed/transferring data, and is otherwise off.

Not sure if it is the case, the NAS, or the HDD, but I can tell you that mine does spin down and the light goes off after some period of inactivity.

That is not a button it is an oval shaped indicator light. It tells you the drive is being read.

i believe it is because the "on" switch is still in the "on" position. the drive stays on until it is removed from the desktop and switched off.

It isn't. You must turn the switch from "off" to "on" and wait about ten seconds for the actual recording to start. The drive will show it's started recording when it glows blue.
