About this deal

Can I run two orange 5mm single bulb led’s and run in either series or parallel (open to suggestion) and power them both from the usual motherboard connection to flash when active. Solid state drives can seem expensive because they are costly to produce and have to compete with other components for production lines. One way of reducing cost has been to increase the number of bits per cell. If you have any other questions about forum posting, please feel free to send me a private message! It may be that the private collection spring summer server has diverted from green to blue, and now finally on amber. Collin is the B2B Hardware Editor for TechRadar Pro.

The Adata SD700 will suit those looking for a rugged storage device that can provide ample capacity without costing too much. It performs superbly well and remains the only SSD we've seen that is IP68-rated. Orange, white, and sometimes blue those are the colors that you will most likely see on the hard drive activity light. The only cause for concern is when the light is solid and the computer is responding very slow or not responding at all that’s when you have some sort of problem that could be major. But I believe what you're seeing is ok and not a cause for concern. This is a surefire way to reduce costs and increase capacity but it has considerably negative effects on performance, reliability and endurance, the latter being super important if you want to use your drives for Chia farming or as NAS drives.To identify HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection status,you can select Start > Control Panel > Hardware andSound > Windows Mobility Center:

I know that the Hard Drive Indicator lights up when programs or anything accesses the drive. On my laptop (HPEnvy M6-1148ca), the indicator flashes white when in use. If HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection has parked the drive, the computer behaves in the followingways: The small print shows that this is valid for drops of up to 1.2m on a carpeted concrete floor for 1TB and 2TB capacities and up to 1m on a carpeted concrete floor for 4TB capacity. The latter has more platters which makes it a bit more fragile. Note that while it is rain and dust-resistant, it is not IP68, so don’t take it swimming with you. For advanced use beyond just the normal chassis LED it would be better to connect the output of the front panel connector to a transistor or optorelay and use that to drive the output of whatever illumination which sourced its power from another output. You seemed to mention it in your own reply, but flashing orange lights on disks means SMART error or predictive failure, I would look at getting some spares and replacing them one-by-one.

I understand you have questions about the hard drive indicator light, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
