Actually no. That's where I started at.A given drive should behave the same on Windows & Linux as far as lights on/off/dimming.
But as I noted earlier, on Windows, the light is OFF, signaling no drive activity upon being removed.
On debian 9.8, it stays on, after repeated dismounts. Hence my request for tools to (easily) see what's going on. *Something* is hitting the drive. Thanks
