Are there any LED SATA data cables out there?

I'm not looking for bling-only LED's but ones where the light show is somewhat representative of the data flow. I've looked briefly and found nothing of the sort.

I guess the next closest would be just using the mobo HDD access LED pin. It is not too detailed of a light show though.

How hard would it be to construct such a DIY LED attachment that is noticeably better than the motherboard's HDD led pin?

The data rate is Gb/S, faster than the human eye can see, so you just want to artificially chop up the mobo HDD LED output so it's on/off flickering instead of just on off? It seems like a project that would take more time than it's worth.

yes sure there would have to be a minimum time the LEDs would be switched on. Yes it does look like a questionable time investment, thx for the feedback.
