3TB My Book Essential Light is on Constantly

I attached this drive to a Windows 7 Professional machine that has Norton Security Suite running.  The light is constantly on, which I assume to mean the something is accessing the disk constantly, yet nothing seems to be running.  I looked at the Resource Monitor and selectively suspended various processes without changing anything.  Does anyone know what this might be?  Or how to find out?  Thanks very much for any help.
