hello for the third time. just a bit curious. is it nessensary to keep your hard drive activity light on ? does it help you in any way while you are like playing games or something? couse i dont want to keep it on and i dont know if i should unplug it or leave it.

It serves no purpose but to tell you your HDD is active.  Most cases these days don't even have the LED anymore.

I like the LED but unplugging it won't cause any harm or other issues to the system.

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.
