The HP hot-swappable hard drive tray is designed with the user in mind, providing an interface to communicate critical status and management information. System status LED icons and a spinning activity ring reflecting the data-writing process notify users of current system status. A blue LED located behind the handle can be activated remotely to guide users to a specific drive tray, while a do-not-remove icon positioned on the tray's eject button lights up to warn users when removal of the drive will cause data loss. All this functionality has been combined in a slim, clean, highly usable design.
