HDD activity light blinks every 1 second

[rudyv1]

Is there a way to turn off the blinking of the HDD activity light at every 1 second intervals?

I'm using windows 7 64bit (fresh install) with GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.3) motherboard

I have all of the latest chipset drivers, and intel rapid storage technology and intel ME drivers installed

I read somewhere once that windows is constantly checking the optical drive to see if any media is inserted, once every second

my hardrive is intel SSD 320 model 120GB with latest firmware

Thank you

Hi and welcome.

I expect that it is the system just indexing the drive. It is possible to turn off disk indexing but that will impact on the performance of searches etc

Hi Dark Mantis, 

But I thinks the best is deactivate the indexing service­. In Administrative Tools. Services.
Is most important not have a index and speed are best for Hard Disk.
Not for research, but for normal function of Hard Disk.

Yes I would agree Gloup_Gloup. It isn't needed.
