Could someone tell me what the attached icon means?
When I first plugged in my HD (it is Western Digital btw), it was a typical orange HD icon.
Now it's got this strange meter/gage image next to it. I don't know what it means.
Could use your help!
Thanks!

Does the drive have some kind of Turbo feature?

Looks like a HD icon from icon factory. Sure you did not download it and forget?

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
It definitely looks like one of their smartware images
