Aurora R11, HDD activity indicator?
This is my 1st time buying a prebuilt. Any other PC's that I built myself had HDD activity lights on the case. Does this Aurora R11 have this feature? I can't tell if the drives are doing anything?
Thanks

Not a very convenient spot is it? I guess I'll have to search for a good tray icon app!

Since most computers (desktops and laptops) boot from super-fast SSDs now-days (as they should) the "HDD-Activity-Light" has pretty much been removed from most modern computers.
Think about how silly it would be to have a activity-light on a phone or tablet.

I find it is a relatively bright light and I can catch its reflection off something located behind the PC.
I actually prefer it that way, as it is a more subtle way of noting if there is a lot of background activity taking place when I'm about to shutdown/hibernate.
