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.

The new model that I bought does have alight to see the disk index in a dark area.

Did you turn it on? Is it fully plugged into the drive? I had an issue with an older ISA/EISA drive not getting fully plugged in. If you are using one of the 3.5" drives you need to check to verify that it is powering up. No power means it is not working. If you hear the drive power up (you can hear it spin up) and it is fully connected is it making any other sounds like clicking? If so the drive itself may be dead. There are several tricks to try if that is the case but without more details of the issue I can't help much more.

Yeah there is. If this laptop is been using without any lights on, it will have bright purple(?) light on the keyboard. It looks beautiful honestly.

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, behind the red slider. It slowly blinks when the drive is plugged in and idle.

I still have mine and it is working fine! But I guess you will have to open it to find out if it is the case or the hard drive.

The drive could be damaged or there may not be enough power. There is an extra power cable, almost looks like an audio aux cable, it plugs into the IDE/SATA connector. Also try the driver CD that came with it. Your PC may not be installing the drivers automatically. Hope this helps

Strange. When it came in, I found the drive as being alone and empty. I partitionned it in three separate parts for work purposes, but it's supposed to be here! You should contact MSI!

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

I plugged mine in and did get a light, but the drive was never recognized by my computer. I suspect the problem is the disk drive.

I can check later when I take it offline. Right now the green disk access light is flashing rapidly indicating a lot of disk activity. In other words, it is currently recording some TV via my Snapstream / Beyond TV recording software. I'll get back to this maybe next week. I do know that it is 7200 RPM.

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

Sorry, no it does not have an activity light. But I've got to say I absolutely love this flash drive. It has a very expensive look to it with that nice brushed gun metal casing. And you will be shocked at how tiny it is! It's about half the physical size of the average flash drives out there. But I must say when plugged into my computer, it displays a total of only 57.6GB of usable space.

You are smarter than me because I'm not sure what an HDD is? Assuming it's another discdrive it appears on the outside it could be, but I have no idea what's on the inside behind the plastic face.

Hi, Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to answer your question. The white circle on the drive is not a button, it is where the LED indicator is located. It will light up or flash blue when there is activity on the drive, like data transferring.
