IDEA: Use scroll lock LED as hard drive indicator
yksyks:
SoftLeds can also use the ScrollLock led on your keyboard to display the disk access on all the monitored drives. See http://xfx.net/utilities/softleds/index.htm.

What do you mean when you say "did not work reliably"? I am running it right now (gotta love the blinking lights :-*) and it seems to work fine (wired keyboard, didn't touch a line of code within the script so it is as-is from the net). Very handy for me, I didn't even have a mobo LCD to show HDD usage. :)

I compared the HD light on my computer and the Scroll Lock LED. They rarely matched. In fact, the scroll lock LED would blink even when there wasn't any indicated activity from the computer.
I am using a wired Logitec keyboard.

I am looking for a small program without extras. The AHK script would have been great if it had worked.
wreckedcarzz:
Could I impose on someone to post the compiled script here?
Thanks!! :)
Oh, what's that about running "diskperf.exe -y" first as mentioned in the first post on the AHK forum (http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic17954.html) ?

BigJim, just open the Run box (Start > Run) and type "diskperf.exe -y" (w/o quotes) to prep the computer to give off HDD readings for the AHK script. I will post the script sometime tomorrow as a compiled exe for you (I am adding it to my notepad here so I don't forget :Thmbsup:)
wreckedcarzz:
By the way wetsmellydog, make sure you did what I said above before running the AHK script, otherwise you will get random readings.
(Just ONCE though! :up:)
