well happydancer, that shows that your hard drive is
working normally, so enjoy the little blinking light [who] ʞɔıɯ
Internal storage is your hard drive, and the light blinks when it reads or writes. [who] Mr.Kickyourbutt
To build on the above answer, during normal use, that light should flash occasionally as you’re using the computer, showing that something is being read from or written to the disk.
If the light stays solidly on, it means that your disk is in constant use, which either indicates you’re copying many large files (normal) or somethings abnormally doing a lot of disk activity that may be slowing down your computer. [who] Rhyled
