LED software monitors and displays disk activity in real-time, giving users an easy-to-understand visual representation of their system's data storage and retrieval processes.
If you're a Mac user, you may have noticed that Apple hasn't incorporated hard disk LEDs on any of its Mac products. However, if you're one of the nostalgic Mac users who remembers the System 7 era, you may recall the various software disk LED products that were available during that time.
Enter DiskSpy, a nifty little program that acts as a software disk LED for Macs running Mac OS X. This program sits in your menu bar and will give visual notifications when your OS is reading from or writing to a disk.
Despite the fact that it's a third-party program, DiskSpy is safe to use. It doesn't run in the kernel region, use private frameworks or undocumented APIs, nor does it require any hacks to use. It also doesn't trap low-level I/O calls or run as a super user. In fact, it doesn't even write to any disks, except to save its preferences.
If you're looking to customize DiskSpy, you're in luck. The program provides users with the possibility to customize the icons to suit your preferences. Overall, if you're looking for an easy and safe way to keep tabs on your disk activity on your Mac, DiskSpy is definitely worth your consideration.
