This discreet software for Windows runs from the notification tray and blinks when the disk is read or written to. It is designed to blend in with other Windows icons for seamless integration.
The Hard Disk Activity Notifier is a handy software that caters to your need to check your hard drive's status. Its purpose is to help you know what the hard drive is up to by providing a subtle notification of its activity.
Traditionally, one could see their hard drive LED or hear the drive heads reading and writing to assess whether they double clicked an icon on their desktop. However, with the growing prevalence of solid-state drives (SSDs) and laptops or tablets without a disk-drive LED, that’s no longer the case.
That's where the Hard Disk Activity Notifier comes in. I discovered this software on a new machine I got and needed to keep track of the hard drive activity. This fantastic utility runs quietly in the Windows notification tray and gently blinks when your disk is either read (top indicator) or written (bottom indicator) to, without creating unnecessary attention.
Moreover, the software provides a matching white Windows icon that blends effortlessly with other icons. In summary, I love this software because it is simple, efficient and provides a much-needed functionality.
