I have a Hitachi Touro Mobile MX3 2.5” Portable Hard Drive, USB 3.0, 1TB hard drive.

Even after I have chosen to Safely Remove this from my PC, I noticed the blue LED light on this hard drive is still on.

Is this a fault or is this normal for this model of hard drive?

Thanks but doesn't that defeat the whole object of having a light. How can you (easily) tell when is it safe to unplug?

Don't fancy having to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Disk Drives everytime!
