You will have to go to the drive’s configuration page, click on Advanced and then go to System, under system click on the Advanced icon and then if you look all the way to the buttom disable the LED Control > LED Status

I understand, there’s something wrong with this board , there are “bleep” everywhere, actually no one is swearing …strange, anyway i still can’t figure out how to disable the front led, hard to concentrate when there’s blinking light in front of me, any help is greatly appreciated

You cannot disable the white light on the front of the unit.

This is bad news, I hope there’s someone who can come up with a firmware hack or anything I really hate that led

Try a piece of black electrical tape or the more manly duct tape.:smiley:
