This drive does have an activity led and measures up to its specs. I am very happy to have purchased this from amazon for only $99. It definitely measures up to its specs.

Right now (June 8, 2014) Costco is selling this for under $100 and they have an open return policy. The picture on their site is incorrect, but it is the Extreme Pro 128gb and describes the aluminum body. The savings on this one item pays for the annual Costco membership. I took back a 32GB Sandisk to Costco that wasn’t working right and I had used it six months. Most places are still selling them for a bit under $150.

Interesting flash drive , Does it have an LED activity light ?
Although SanDisk flash drives are interesting they have annoyingly been excluding LED activity indicator lights from them which I think is bad and makes their drives look like dull pieces of metal and plastic with a USB connector !.

I like the question at the start of the review about how long will these drives last because interestingly enough I still have my very first ever flash drive from 9 years ago, I left some data on it to see if I could access it in the future since the manufacturer promised it would retain data for 10 years …..fingers crossed for a few more months on the experiment…
