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.

I am surprised everyone think the same thing as me
No, not quite everyone…
l was about to mention trying to open the case.
Seems like if you own a soldering iron, everything looks like a tinkering project… 😆
I do have a soldering iron, but god forbid i won’t open up a hard disk lol(even if this is less risky to open this one)
l have to add that I’m ancient and most extemal hard disks I have lying around still have actual 2.5" or even 3.5" devices with standard connectors in there.
Have opened at least two of those to exchange drives.
So my perspective is slightly twisted… ;-)
That was still i was reffering to. I am still kinda scared to solder in there. Fault in the connector circuit may also end ir
