Default SAS drive permanently "busy"?

Being in need or a spare 6TB drive for my FreeNAS machine, I found a
Seagate-recertified SAS drive with more then 4 years warranty remaining.
But whether I plug it into a motherboard SAS port or a port on the
add-on SAS card, the "busy" light stays on the whole time. Is this
normal SAS drive behavior?

I have a 2-port SAS controller, but I use SATA breakout cables so that I
can connect 8 SATA drives. I'm not sure what's normal for a SAS drive.
