I have no idea. When I go see/drool on it I'll report you my findings.

You'll probably be able to see it moving as a blur while simultaneously hearing the whirr that comes along with having it power up. Compared to when it's powered-down and it's not a blur nor is it making noise.

Though I'm basing that off having seen 15k drives run with a full-scale see-through cover which was only for testing purposes. If this is just a tiny window vs. a large one, the blur may or may not be noticeable. I'm curious what you'll observe.

i used to take apart hard drives that were dead & play w/the disks - they can come in a variety of colors & I bet if there's a "window" they'll make it a color that would show & prob. even add an ledlight
