I recently purchased my first FLASH drive, specifically, the
Emprex 512MB with USB 2.0 interface. It has a small LED on it
which was specifically touted as giving the user indication of
when it is safe to remove the device. What I observe is that
there is indeed a small LED, which always glows red when the
device is plugged into a USB port. I am able successfully to
mount and unmount the device, but I see no change in the LED,
either with it turning off or turning green, or what.
Could some with more experience with such devices give me
more information? Is this something which only works with
MS products, or do I just not know what to look for? Or what?
Thanks for your time.
It's brand-specific, I think. My Disgo behaves like that, but my Acer
pendrive lights only during activity.

Ditto here.
Watch the LED to see if it flashes when there is activity on the drive.
That may be the indication they are talking about. Of course I have
one drive that where the LED is, I cannot see it when plugged in on the
Dell I use at work. I found a bug in the umounting of USB drives due to
that.
