When I bought my computer in 2017, I was on a budget, but still needed a proper amount of disc space, so I went for a HDD instead of a SSD. I can barely hear it, because I wear headphones, but I do see the red LED on the tower when it's active (would it be like that with a SSD anyway?). But the HDD activity is pretty disconnected from my activity at the PC, I have to say. I feel like it's mostly triggered by stuff happening in the background. So it could provide some feedback, but the relationship is too complex to be useful, imo.
