Intel 240GB 520 Series activity light always on

I have an intel 240 GB 520 series and its activity light remains on constantly. Is this indicative of the drive being accessed constantly and will it in fact reduce the drives life?

This a warranty replacement - the original drive which had failed also had its light on constantly.
