A computer memory system () which comprises a media module (); a host computer () configured to accommodate the media module () in removable fashion; and a display unit (). The media module () is configured to store electronic data. The host computer () comprises a docking station () configured to accommodate the media module (); an interface () through which electronic signals representing the electronic data are transmitted between the host computer () and the media module (); an optical indicator (); and a host processor (). The host processor () is configured to control a read/write operation over the interface between the host computer () and the media module () and to activate the optical indicator () whereby the optical indicator () provides a first optical signal depicting transmission of electronic signals over the interface in the read/write operation. The host processor () is further configured to drive the optical indicator () whereby the optical indicator provides a second optical signal modulated to represent media module management information which can be displayed upon an output display device ().
