Certainly I do not work for Dell or know what they were thinking, but multiple users have reported this light being extremely bright and distracting, that they want it turned off or blocked. In this logic it might be better to place it on back IO panel, which might be a bit less annoying. For someone who actually wanted to see the light clearly when PC is accessing SSD, this may be disappointing. It is hard for Dell to please both groups of people I guess.  
1. Can anybody please explain what is the logic of installing Hard Disk Activity indicator behind XPS 8940 Desktop? Why was it not placed in the front of the desktop? 2. This desktop came with Windows 10 installed. Soon as I booted up this brand new computer, Windows 11 started downloading through Windows Updates. Is there any way we can opt out if we don't want Windows 11? Thanks.
XPS 8940, Disk Activity light behind. Why?
