Alienware 15 R3 HDD Activity Indicator
Is the AlienHead button still using for the HDD activity on Alienware 15 R3?
I found no blinking at the AlienHead eyes, even my drives are busy copying files.
My Alienware contains 2 drives, 1 unit of M.2 SSD and 1 unit of 7200RPM HDD.

It's shared with the battery/power LED. If you press Fn+H, it should do the change.

There is still no response after pressing Fn+H. I had tried this action during copying files too.
Is this related to the latest BIOS (v1.02) or AlienFX (Command Center v4.7.7)?

It's actually related to the OSD and BIOS drivers.

I'd the OSD v0.33.0.2,A02 pre-installed on Win10 Pro 64-bit, HDD activity not working with BIOS v1.02. I'd just tried the latest BIOS v1.06, AlienHead power led is fine like before, but there is still no HDD activity on the eyes.

I'd also tried relocate the SSD spaces to install Ubuntu OS for dual boot purpose (with UEFI secure boot off). There is no HDD activity on the eyes at Ubuntu too.
