Said light will turn green when it is reading or writing files. On the other end, there’s a light that will blink red when the device is plugged in. Users should still be warned that the cap is not attached to the flash drive itself, so it can still be misplaced and can therefore be lost. This is covered with a metal cap that is filled with rubber to provide a more secure fit. On one end of the device, there’s the USB 3.0 connector.
