does this have an activity light one can actually see like your old flash drives?

Nope, there's no activity LED anywhere on the device, sadly. Also, it does have a detachable cap, not a retractable one. So if you're prone to losing things, you might want a different flash drive.

There's a HDD activity light on the front of the enclosure that's sorta hidden behind the front grill; but you'll clearly see the bright blue LED light when there's activity.

It flashes when read / write. Actually, the light is not a dot on the USB drive. It is under the sliding bar but u can see the blue light flashing when first plugged in and when read / write. It is quite obvious.

No it doesn't have any external activity lights. You have to rely on watching the progress meter on your computer to tell it's done copying, moving, or reading. On a side note, the USB 3.0 speed is not nearly as fast as larger USB 3.0 flash drives like Patriot's Supersonic Magnum, but significantly faster than any USB 2.0 flash drive.

Not that I know of but the light stays on, unless you just want to unplug the usb?

The slide has a light behind/under it which remains on when plugged in, but flashes as data is being transferred. It's not bright, but visible under normal light.

The one on mine is red. Lights up when it is plugged in and flashes with activity. If your USB ports are upside down you can't see the light.

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.

No. Reading more on the internet before I purchased this drive, I have found that LightScribe is discontinued.

I think the newer one does, but this one has an outdated flash player not sure though.

Sorry, but there is no activity indicator light on this flash drive. However, it is fast.

There are no light indicator lights. I own several of these drives and have had no issues with them. They fit nicely on a keychain and have bought several for co-workers, so they would stop borrowing the ones that I carry.

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

Yes, there is a light. It is behind the colored area of the flash drive where you place your thumb to slide out the USB connector. The light is hard to see if you are by a bright light but shading the colored area with your hand will allow you to see the light. Also the light comes on as soon as you plug in the flash drive and flashes when data is being copied to it.

Yes it does . has audio output and it light. Add your own surveilace software and you can add more features.

Yes it is. Just like any other boring, non-transforming flash drive out there.
