Fozzie Bear Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 It's been a while since I have posted here which shows how reliable Drive Bender has been for me over the years. However I have just received an alert from the software saying that one of my drives is failing. This is confirmed by windows itself when I log in. Like a lot of people I have a number of drives all from the same manufacturer. and same model. I know the disk in question is DB3 but apart from the serial number displayed in the disk properties is there any other way of identifying the drive. when shut down that I may have overlooked?

From the drive settings in DriveBender, you can PING VOLUME, making the drive's activity light flash so that you can easily identify it.

Fozzie Bear Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Many thanks, Have found and removed drive now but really helpful to know this for the future. As an aside where is the led located and its it fitted on all hard drives. I have Samsung and WD Red drives? Fozzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Interesting, I was not aware that drives had an incorporated LED either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oj88 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I think the "Ping" volume only works on systems with LEDs on individual HDD slot or enclosure. Otherwise, looking up serial numbers would be the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
