I wanted to show HDD activity on a retro build that has a PCI SATA card, but there was no easy way to tap activity off the SATA card i used. I instead found an adapter that has an activity LED, but I realized it was inverted from how a normal case LED blinks - so a small NPN circuit is used, tapped off the 3.3v rail, ground, and the sink off the LED.  NPN transistor, 2x 3.9k and 1x 330 ohm resistor.
