LED Indicator for Transfer Monitoring

An integrated LED indicator provides real-time feedback on data transfer activity. When files are being read or written, the LED light flashes to let you know that the operation is in progress. Once the transfer completes, the light stops flashing, indicating it’s safe to remove your card.

This small but essential feature helps prevent data corruption by ensuring you never eject a card prematurely. It’s a thoughtful addition that adds to the overall reliability and ease of use of the RDF2.
