Disk constantly in use after mounting is this normal?

, ,

I have a SSD in some enclosure that I use to connect to it using USB and when I mount it the light keeps blinking as if it’s constantly being in use is this normal? It’s an encrypted drive in ext4 but just formatting to ext4 without encryption does the same thing. If I unmount it then it stops being in use and the light stops blinking. The drive has no files on it. Any idea? How can I check what’s happening?

Formatted in f2fs with encryption instead and that solved it, I guess it has something to do with ext4.
