Disk activity light

[hawkeyefxr]

I am looking for an app that has a light in the top menu bar that shows disk activity.
My reason is that i copied some files to an external drive to an external drive, it copied the files quickly but when i tried to eject the external drive it said it was in use??

The built-in Activity Monitor app/utility has a detailed view in its Disk tab

I was looking for something smaller that sits in the top menu bar. I have used this though.

This can mean as little as a terminal window has a current path on the drive, not necessarily 'active' use.

Cheers for that, seems a good little app.
