1 Power/Info LED

The LED glows white when the drive is on, and blinks white slowly when the drive is accessed.

If Lock and Go is enabled, the LED blinks white once every two seconds when the drive is locked. When Lock

and Go Setup is initializing the drive, the LED blinks white twice per second.

Note: This drive has a function to predict an impending drive failure using its S.M.A.R.T information, and

informs you of that using the power/info LED. If the drive detects that drive failure may soon occur, the LED will

glow or blink amber instead of white. To avoid losing data due to drive failure, we recommend always backing

up data on the drive to another device.
