But no one *ever* mentions whether the Kingston drives have flashing LED to indicate copy activity, please! Could someone please post here whether or not the Kingston has an LED indicator light to let one know that data is being copied?

I don't know why a few people say it has no LED. I just purchased this same model (4gb Data Traveler 100) from another store and it DOES have an LED light that blinks when their is activity. Maybe their stick is defective and their light is burned out or something, but there definitely is one. Its a green light behind the logo.

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then I´ve been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I don´t know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

yes, the part that is red lights up when the drive is plugged into the usb, and when I download files to the drive, the light sort of blinks as it's working.

It flashes when read / write. Actually, the light is not a dot on the USB drive. It is under the sliding bar but u can see the blue light flashing when first plugged in and when read / write. It is quite obvious.

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I used mine just to copy a HDD once and it worked fine, I haven't used after that.

By the way, I also checked Seagate's website and they have no pictures of their 500gb with the new light pattern, which I find odd because if anyone's going to have the most up-to-date pictures of their products, it should be them.

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

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

Not in my my experience, you have use the key(s) stroke to see the drive. and re install it it after to use keys again. This is in the user manual. and it does log every key stroke (maybe defective) not worth it. Robert C answer 2-25-2013

I just checked www.wdc.com Typed in Serial Number from drive I received. Answer from WD: "The warranty for this product has expired. The product is not eligible for replacement. If you need technical assistance, please send us email." So either Seller is warranting this drive OR NO ONE IS!!! I, for one, would like to hear from the seller on this matter!

I just got the drive. It is the same model as before. But simply replacing the pcb board does not work. The original pcb board is working fine as tested by mounting it to the new drive. There is some serious problem inside the sealed chamber like reading arms or some mechanical failure. I don't want to mess it up now. I have to eat the pain of losing my data. I used to always trust WD but now I changed my mind. Maybe looking for a seagate one for replacement. Next time I will build a Raid.

I have heard of this issue in ASUS laptops, but have not experienced any kind of Drive failures in mine. Though Ive only had mine for a little over a year now. Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can recover the data.
