DiskLED is a flexible hard disk and general system activity indicator system tray applet.
Version 1.1.1 (December 05, 2009): Bugfix: Icon freeze when moving the Taskbar

No HDD LED, no quick and simple way to check for hard drive activity. This has been bugging me enough to write a software replacement: DiskLED.
