I am on Arch Linux and I want to disable this activity indicator light on a WD hard drive. I know there is a software on Windows for doing that, but since I am on Linux, how could I do it? This light is annoying when I am in a dark room.

    Why limit it to a specific OS? Open it up and inline a resistor, say 680 ohm or so.

    Or wire a simple on-off switch. Or both ;)
