HardDriveIndicator spells its purpose quite clearly. It's a simple System Tray animated icon that shows HDD activity. It's useful for PC setups that don't possess that famous activity led, or in the case where there are multiple storage drives attached to a PC. The app is a great way to test your devices without having to make use of the classic trial and error system.

The idea behind this app is how simple it actually is. Most of the hard part lies somewhere hidden, in lines of code that tell the small icon what to do. It will flash red when activity is detected and will fill the bars progressively as the stress on your storage device increases.

It's also great to check if your specific components are being stressed for no apparent reason. Do keep in mind that this app was not created for testing HDDs and SSDs. It's an informational tool that has the sole purpose of showing the individual the level of activity on a specific drive.

Although by this point there are plenty of other options in terms of HDD activity-related apps, one must agree that the simplicity of this particular program is somewhat convincing. We're dealing with a program that offers insight into the functioning of a certain PC component without adding useless aspects that would only confuse the user. Not having an interface, in this case, is an advantage. Although somewhat old, the program seems to have aged well.

HardDriveIndicator is a simple program designed to help individuals understand the usage levels and the amount of stress put on an HDD or SSD connected to the machine running the app. It's great for troubleshooting and general supervision of storage components.
