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.
Probably no one’s thought of this yet, but i’m going to say black electrical tape. If you put it over your eyes it takes care of all your devices at once.
Painters tape and a sharpie. Layered.

Unfortunately, my flavor of AuDHD isn’t compatible with Arch lol
Brown electrical tape, if you don’t have black electrical tape.
Duct tape
Masking take and permanent marker or pen works too if you don’t have electical tape.
Huh!, just Disconnect the drive from power source and it will OFF.
Tape, electrical black.
This is the way
This is the way.
A big-ass hammer.
A true man of culture, I see 🫡
Have a friend stand in front of it
Have you tried plugging and unplugging it? It should solve your problem
They sell travel sized rolls of that gorilla tape.
It sticks to just about anything, pretty much forever, and is totally opaque.
Should work like a charm.
Have you tried plucking your eyes out?
Based on the other comments here I’d suggest black electrical tape over the eyes first
.
Sorry - I couldn’t not.I couldn’t not.
You could not not?
No, that’s right.
Gordon Freeman?
Pretty much what I was going to say, just get a pointy thing and stab it.
Black pen. Black sharpie. Black electrical tape. Black duct tape. Black roofing felt. Black tar. Black hole.
Also avoid handling black holes without appropriate protection.
Would electro magnetic radiation erase it before spaghettification?
Need a time dilation device to use
Any of the available in aur?
Only available through YUM
I have a sheet of dark coloured stickers specifically for this task.
I’ve some black circle stickers that cover screws. Would be ideal for small LEDs too
