Great drive with one huge flaw

This is 1TB of storage for a great price from a reputable brand. Performance is what you can expect from a premium SATA III SSD. One of the great things about M.2 SSDs is that there are no wires to deal with. That said, there is one huge disadvantage to this specific drive. The MX500 has a flashing activity LED on the SSD. Now if this was some type of optional feature and it was well advertised, that would be one thing. But this was a pretty big surprise the first time I booted a game from it. I do not want an orange light blinking 10 times a second at me. This is absolutely jarring expecially with a tempered glass side panel. If it wasn't for this constantly blinking orange LED I would be pretty happy with the drive, but I kinda wish I had chosen a different drive as it bothers me.
