Intel 750 and HDD Activity LED

I installed Windows 10 onto my Intel 750 400GB(SSDPE2MW400G4R5-2.5" SSD version) last night and everything seemed fine but then this morning I

noticed that the HDD activity LED was on all the time. After spending about 4 hours on the problem I figured out that the LED works fine on other hard

drives but when I plug in the 750 the LED it appears that it reverses itself(on for no activity and off for activity). I tried messing with the LED connectors

on the motherboard and at the front panel but nothing works.

I used to have the AHCI version of the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 SSD in the slot and the HDD activity LED functioned correctly.

Except for that the 750 works just fine.

For the record, my setup;

Asus X99 Deluxe with most current bios

32GB Crucial Sport Ballistix DIMMs

1TB Seagate HD

Intel 750 400GB 2.5" SSD with most current firmware

Nvidia GeForce Titan graphics card

Asus Hyper Kit NVMe adapter

Is this a problem that will be fixed with future firmware or should I just return it and hope the replacement doesn't do the same thing?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for confirming that behaviour, and having a DC P3700 drive, that (LED is ON in idle mode), I can confirm this also applies to DC P3XXX series, at least.

I installed the new firmware and it appears the problem is fixed, thank you.
