no, it's useful in many situations like when your computer feels slow and something in background is actively running on the a drive (doing constant read / writes)

it even shows SSD activity, literally any kind of storage device, HDD LED is just the name because at that time (when it was introduced) there were not SSDs

i didnt know that

It's useful for knowing if your PC has crashed or just loading up, for example by screen is just black, so I press random buttons on the keyboard and see if it causes any activity on the HDD

Please tag me @RTX 3090 so I can see your reply

Many cases and prebuilts doesn't include one. I guess the industry is thinking it's not -sexy- enough and that including it may lose them sales because it's not RGB HDD LED....?
