Elements 6TB led flashing

I have a relatively new Elements 6TB and all of a sudden, the led just constantly flashes. The drive is still accessible but the led isn’t showing activity or idle as it should. It’s just constantly flashing. I’ve run chkdsk and there’s no problem there. What does this mean? Is this drive dying already?
