What it says on the tin: This could be useful for automation (extract disks, insert disks) and other things. It should probably be an option, just like the detector has options for = < > etc.

Suggestion: Let the player specify "output redstone signal at fill level"
If < 50% full
if == 100% full
if > 90% full
etc etc :)

the detector with no item targeted supposedly does this. Haven't tried though.

Detector with no item targeted checks the amount given, not fullness levels

Well, the idea is that the disk drive would emit, not the detector since
you can only pick an item target, not a nearby block's status.

Nah, I want to keep everything using the detector.

But can you use the detector to see the fill level of a specific disk drive, or your system in total?

System in total. I don't like the idea of checking individual disks. Not worth the effort

Not individual disks, but disk DRIVES (the 8 slot ones you place in the world). They already output the information on the interface for each, but it would be great to have, say, indicator lights on a central screen of your base or something, showing the disk drive status.

That said, if I can use a detector to show fill level of the entire system, I suppose I can use that too. Do I just leave the detector blank without any item specified?

Yes
