Found this while looking for a simple, blinking HDD/SDD activity indicator. This full-featured applet satisfies that low bar with ease -- displaying changing numbers instead of a blinking icon. The activity of an individual drive or partition can be displayed. Read/write stats are maintained for each partition as well as for each physical drive.
