I checked for similar tools and found options that let you control LED indicators through software. Yes, there are programs available that map HDD LEDs or other status lights to displays like your keyboard.
Visit My Portable Software for free HDD solutions and explore ActivityIndicator projects on SourceForge.
Some folks genuinely worry about that blinking LED on their hard drive. I’m leaning toward leaving it plugged in.
You can avoid low-level hardware issues by managing them through software controls. Establish a baseline for separating HDD operations into idle and active states using disk I/O monitoring. From there, you have flexibility to implement whatever approach suits your needs. For example, the scroll lock light on the keyboard could act as an activity indicator when triggered by monitoring disk activity and sending a corresponding keyboard event.
I assure you it functions just like Network Light's design, but it tracks network input to initiate actions. Because none of these three keys (Num, Caps, Scroll Lock) activate any software event, it’s straightforward to send a key event manually. You can also verify a key’s status using GetKeyState to confirm the light is on or off as required. Since I don’t use Windows anymore, I’m unable to provide a quick code sample demonstrating this control method.
