Nah it only comes on intermittently, when it does it comes up garbage, i eventually got it to work and managed to recover some files off with recovery software but lost most of the stuff that was on it. Tried formatting etc and regardless of which computer its plugged into, it only connects intermittently and corrupts the data.

Yes there is (sort of). There is a flashing red light whenever there is some activity such as transferring files. Connecting the thumb drive is considered an activity so the red light flashes for a few seconds. There is no light if there is no activity. By the way, this is a wonderful thumb drive (really fast USB 3.0).

yes, there is a led display area which shows the current key status. But it is not a bright display.

I bought two of these devices and they both work well. It takes about a minute for the red light to change to blue when you turn it on. To open, I usually go to my computer, then I would choose drive with the removable flash drive. I am then able to open the folder with my information.I hope that this information is helpful to you.

It will only see files on the root directory. It does not have an LED display. If it did, you would be able to select different sectors on you USB.I have not been able to get this unit to work. Also, you must be able to format your USB into sectors of 1.4mg. It's been awhile, I don't remember if it came with software to do that. One more thing. You have to find 2Gb or smaller USB sticks. Good Luck, but I would not recommend.

Drive is powered by the computer (device) it is attached to. There is not external power or plug to attach one.

I believe that the light is on when its plugged into a powered on device, in a USB port receiving power. Then the light flickers consistently when you read/write data on the drive.

It does not do anything when connected. The first time I connected it, it I could see the drive C but couldn't access any info off the drive. Then it got hot and now it won't do anything.

Mine also does not seem to have a led light. It transfers files fine thought. I miss the light.

The slide has a light behind/under it which remains on when plugged in, but flashes as data is being transferred. It's not bright, but visible under normal light.

No, there's no external on/off switch -- however, it does sense when it is plugged into USB, and automatically turns on when plugged in, and goes into standby when the drive is unmounted / unplugged from USB. It also turns on/off automatically when the computer turns on/off, if left plugged in. I find that this works out really well.The big LED strip indicates when the drive is on. It has a separate power supply.

Yes, in fact the picture of the product shows the red light above the "A", in-between the two USB ports.

No, unfortunately it does not. However, there are many inexpensive external drives which can be purchased here on Amazon. It's so thin, though, I really don't miss it. And it has a backlit keyboard! (Writing this response on it right now.)

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

Not that I know of but the light stays on, unless you just want to unplug the usb?

There are leds for each drive, they flash when the drive is accessed. I don't know if the drives are spinning, but I do know that if I haven't accessed a drive in a while, there is a slight delay. Almost like they are not spinning. The unit shuts down when I power down my computer, but need to push button to start. Will not activate at boot. Hope this helps.

Mine is connected to a desktop and when I secure the PC the USB goes off. When I start the PC the USB lights up and is active.

Yes - the drive connects to the computer with a usb cord. The computer just senses it as a usb device. It's basically the same as plugging a memory flash drive into a usb port on the computer.
