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.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
